I confirm that this bug i definitely not fixed as of natty's evolution-
data-server (2.32.2-0ubuntu2). I still observe the same problem with e
-calendar-factory that I've seen since (at least) maverick's release...
As many have reported, the process e-calendar-factory leaks memory
without bound, even with a quite simple calendar configuration (e.g.
just a couple of lightly used google calendars). Since e-calendar-
factory runs continuously -- even if Evolution is closed -- eventually
it eats all of system memory and kills the whole system. The only work-
around is to manually kill the e-calendar-factory process.
Today, I determined that I can easily demonstrate the problem. These
steps make my e-calendar-factory grow by many megabytes (given my
configuration (just a couple of google calendars):
1. run 'top' and locate the e-calendar-factory process (press 'O' then 'n' to
sort top's display by memory by amount of memory used)
2. observe the VIRT and RES (memory usage) columns associated with
e-calendar-factory
3. now click the date/time indicator in the unity or gnome-shell panel to bring
up the popup calendar/agenda
4. now click the desktop to make the popup calendar/agenda go away
5. observe the memory usage of e-calendar-factory in 'top' -- in my case it
jumps by 1 to 2 MB
6. repeat from step 3 ... observe that every time you bring up the calendar
popup and then close it, e-calendar-factory jumps by 1 to 2 MB.
(This might not be the only thing that makes e-calendar-factory leak, but it
does always cause such a leak for me.
Others experiencing the problem, please advise: Can you also force this
easily observable leak using the sequence above?
I will continue to investigate the problem.
