John,
- To be clear, does the progress dialog disappear, or does it remain
on-screen while the memory usage increases?
- How many photos are in your Shotwell library? Approximately how many
of them are RAW?
- Do you have the option to watch the library directory for new files
turned on? If so, could you try the following? While Shotwell is not
running, start gconf-editor, find the value
/apps/shotwell/preferences/files/auto_import and uncheck it to disable
library watching. Now start Shotwell again. Does the memory flood
still occur?

I'm having a problem with shotwell 0.8.1 on Archlinux 64-bit. When I
start it, the progress dialog appears, followed by the UI. After a
few seconds, the UI becomes unresponsive and it starts to increase its
memory usage until it consumes all RAM and swap.
The end of the strace, which coincides with the beginning of the
increasing memory use, is:-

Not sure what else I can usefully provide! Let me know...
Thanks in advance.
