Bug Description
This is a new bug in karmic, not present in jaunty.
I have a 6mb pdf file which consists of scanned pages. I try to attach it to an e-mail in evolution but it becomes unresponsive and top shows it's taking up to 600mb and growing. The same does not happen with 6mb of random data (courtesy of /dev/urandom). I am not going to attach the file here since it is copyrighted material, but I can surely provide the file privately to whoever needs it for debugging purposes.
Update: the same happens with a 900k zip file, again I can't post it here but can send it privately. This time there are no huge scanned pdfs involved but there still are pdfs in the zip file.
