Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Every once in a while, the evolution composer becomes out of control
while leaking memory. This usually makes my system completely
unresponsive within about 10-30 seconds. Evolution's memory footprints
grows at a very fast rate until it gets killed by the OOM or I hit the
power button (whichever comes first depending on the amount of swap
space I have). I have noticed that this tends to happen just after I
paste some text in the window, but I have not found a way to reliably
reproduce the problem. This is quite a severe problem because the leak
happens so fast that I don't have time to react and kill evolution
before the system becomes unresponsive. On any machine with more than 1
GB swap, the result is a complete lockup -- there's no way out of this
than to reboot the machine because the swapping goes on forever.
** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
Importance: Untriaged
