Title:
pidgin hogs all system memory
Status in “pidgin” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: pidgin
Basically the bug is that pidgin goes mad and takes all available
memory on my pc. This has happened a couple of times now. First time
it happened I had no clue what had happened, my system simply stalled
and I had to do a hard reboot. Second time, which was today, I noticed
that there appeared message in dmesg, saying that pidgin has invoked
oom-killer.
To be honest I don't know if this bug is caused because of pidgin, but
that is my guess. I also don't know how to debug this, so here is some
random info. Hopefully this helps..
2.6.24-17-generic
pidgin 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2
