This problem is very real. Please reopen. I'm running evo 2.24 on Intrepid on a HP NW8440. I have the above symptoms daily.
I've attached valgrind output, generated thus: $ evolution --force-shutdown $ sleep 3 $ G_SLICE=always-malloc G_DEBUG=gc-friendly valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --num-callers=40 --log-file=/home/rkh/evo-valgrind/2008-11-13-14:30:09.valgrind evolution --component=mail I've not used valgrind and am unsure that this completed correctly. In my case evo RSS goes to 1.8G or so, then is killed. I don't know whether the valgrind output is complete in such cases. -Reece ** Attachment added: "valgrind output" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19628159/2008-11-13-14%3A30%3A09.valgrind ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- evolution memory leaking, system thrashing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280949 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
