Bug Description
Binary package hint: gvfs
Mounted an SMB share using gvfs-mount (also same effect when done through Places/Network menu item in Gnome). When copying large files from my hard disk to the network share using ~/.gvfs/[share] memory usage of the gvfsd-smb process becomes large (had over 4G at one point) which could be a memory leak. This is repeatable - I tried rebooting and the process grows again when doing the copy.
Ran valgrind with --leak-check=full over gvfsd-smb. Results attached - seems to indicate a leak in smbc_set_
Running libsmbclient 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5, gvfs 1.4.1-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 9.10. Never experienced this leak before when copying large files in 9.04, only after upgrading to 9.10.
