From what I read from the mails posted below this is unlikely to be fixed in the current "stable" pre-akonadi version of Akregator and the Akregator akonadi ports needs someone to work on it.

Please refrain from reporting the same bug over and over and - guess what? - over again. Dr. Konqi gives quite some help when it comes to check for duplicates. Reporting it a million times will not help a single bit in resolving this more quickly. So please either help with coding or keep quiet and hope that someone else does it. Or try to find someone to fix the bug.

Thanks.

I am the maintainer, but I am lacking both time and motivation to work on it. And nobody else appeared so far to take over.

The issue is known for a long time, and easy to trigger, by using any corrupted mk4 file. The problem is that metakit allocates memory after reading the size of some value in the db. If that value is bogus, which means it's some random value, and far too high most of the time and the process either starts to allocate huge amounts of memory or just crashes (if the value is above the OS limit), or both.
The only real solution I see is to move away from metakit to Akonadi. That was started (krss) and is now lingering in the akonadi-ports branch, but it needs someone with both time and motivation (see above) to complete it.

No, currently there is nobody working on it.

The basics were working, but it showed some performance issues when importing larger rss archives.
The implementation also shows that it was started in the early days of Akonadi resource development and we wanted replace some of krss-specific models etc. by the new like EntityTreeModel.
And then I'd like to cleanup the resource implementation, which became overly complex by adding another layer of abstraction to support
both local storage and online RSS readers (newsgator in particular, which then closed down).

See Krenar's post. akonadi-ports needs to be rebased against current trunk though.
