Bug Description

Apport, Apport-GTK 2.0-0ubuntu5

Compiz crash, I join all the file Apport suggest me to join.
The repport is generated, and while Apport send it to LP :

Cannot connect to crash database, please check your Internet connection.
out of memory

- giant memory leak : apport-gtk used 1.8Go of RAM !

- The report is not sent, apport quit after this fail. But it shouldn't, I've 8Go of RAM and 70% is unused.

The error might be partially fixed :
- generic package hook: Also check /tmp for enough space. Thanks Brian Murray. (LP: #972933)
However, nothing related to the memleak so I won't mark my bug as invalid.

I'm afraid there's not enough information in this report to fix the bug. If you still have the .crash file that apport-gtk was operating on when it used 1.8GB of RAM, please feel free to attach it and reopen this bug.
