Empathy leaks memory

[Jeffrey Baker]

Binary package hint: empathy

Lucid/64 empathy 2.30.2-0ubuntu1. It leaks like crazy. According to /proc:

VmPeak: 1265672 kB
VmSize: 1265652 kB
VmLck: 0 kB
VmHWM: 812188 kB
VmRSS: 812168 kB
VmData: 892920 kB
VmStk: 212 kB
VmExe: 920 kB
VmLib: 51344 kB
VmPTE: 2260 kB

I have it configured with one jabber account and one aim account, and I have very little traffic. It seems to just leak memory while it sits there.

I guess it is now the policy that "Incomplete" means "The reporter did not personally fix the bug." Log attached.

Jeffrey, actually, incomplete means we require more information from the reporters machine where the error's occured from to which we can not obtain ourselves.

This bug has been reported upstream to the developers. Please follow along there to make sure you can provide them with any further information. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=628583

Upstream claims to have a fix. It would be nice to have this in 10.04.2

[Brian Curtis (bcurtiswx)]

For now I am going to mark as fix released, as this has been fixed in Maverick.
