Hello I recently deleted almost 30000 old messages from my maildirs, and since I did that, notmuch new has not managed to complete. I have it running on a server with 1 GB of RAM, and the output is telling me
Cleaned up 25515 of 29803 messages (1m 10s remaining). at the point it is killed. I have followed it up to this point with top and free and I can see memory usage growing to something like 700MB (RES) at which point the process is killed. I am using notmuch 0.17 (from the debian jessie package 0.17-3) on debian wheezy 64 bit. Any pointers as to what to do to get past this point would be greatly appreciated. If I have just deleted that many messages should I just expect notmuch to use that much memory? (Unfortunately the company supplying the server does not allow swap to be enabled so I can't fudge it that way) I did also try running it with NOTMUCH_TALLOC_REPORT, but that didn't produce a report (though I was unsure if I needed to rebuild notmuch before that would work). Happy to build notmuch from source if this might be an interesting bug worth tracking down.
