Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

If evolution is running for some time (hours+) its memory usage will
grow beyond what seems reasonable -- i.e. if it runs overnight, it will
reach 2GB. Once physical RAM is full, it will silently exit. I'm not
sure if this is a dupe of #185197, #222263, #115498, and/or #280949 so
I've opened it separately just in case. I'm on an up-to-date Intrepid
system with evolution pkgs 2.24.1-0ubuntu3. I should mention that I'm
using the Intrepid evolution packages with minor patch applied (from bug
#275746). This bug was occurring well before using the patched version,
however.

I'm not sure exactly what causes/exacerbates this. I do know that I can
open evolution and do *nothing* and it will still happen, so it's not
dependent on hitting send/receive, writing emails, or anything else
"active". I have 3-4 mail accounts which are auto-checked every 5-10
mins, and one USENET server checked with about the same frequency.

I have installed the evolution-dbg package and run Valgrind as
recommended at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind -- the resulting log is
attached. In the session which it represents, I simply opened evolution,
sent & received maybe 5-10 emails, and then closed it.

I am happy to perform any further tests that are necessary to diagnose
this -- just let me know!
