Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
Open any PDF and select some text by dragging around with left mouse
button pressed down. Evince starts eating memory about 1MB/s (or perhaps
a bit slower). I regognized the problem after an evince instance with a
8 page PDF file was consuming 1.5 GB of virtual memory and system
started to swap badly. If I never select any text, no memory is leaked.
This might be because of bug #75894 as I've also gs-esp instead of gs-
gpl.
$ cat /etc/issue.net
Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
$ dpkg -s gs-esp evince | egrep "Package:|Status:|Version:"
