indicator-weather ran to high CPU and started filling .xsession-errors

[Greg Stachowski]

IImmediately after loggin in indicator-weather ran to high CPU and started filling .xsession-errors with

(indicator-weather:3883): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-CRITICAL **: dbusmenu_menuitem_build_
variant: assertion `DBUSMENU_IS_MENUITEM(mi)' failed

at a very high rate (~100MB in a few seconds - I noticed when the "very little space left on device" dialog popped up - in 10-15 minutes it had turned xsession-errors into a 6GB file!). Applet seemed to be running fine otherwise, but would not accept "quit" - had to kill from command line.

This is not the first issue with indicator-weather - it seems to be very instable, crashing regularly or using high CPU.

Versions:

Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit
indicator-weather 12.07.30-0ubuntu1.1

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I observe this also, although for me the line begins with "(indicator-weather:2525)"
My .xsession-errors file is 2.1GB big!
On 13.04 32bit, with
