Also confirmed in Oneiric with AMD64. The memory consumption continues also after closed thunderbird, becouse the process "thunderbird" is still running in the background. For 2-3 minutes after closing thunderbird, the computer is completly unusable due to usage of all system ram available (1Bg) and continuosly swapping. This ends when the proces thunderbird in the backgroung decides itself to terminate.
