memory leak in krb5-auth-dialog?

[Dern]

Binary package hint: krb5-auth-dialog

My PC was left running over the weekend. When I came back top shows krb5-auth-dialog is now using 23.7% of my 4GB of memory. Seems awfully big for an applet.

I reinstalled the pc last week from scratch using Karmic. I'm using LDAP/Kerberos authentication to a Windows AD server.

I noticed this too, using krb5-auth-dialog version 0.15-1 on Kubuntu Maverik. The process had 750 MB virtual memory space (most of it swapped out). Only a fraction was paged in, thought.

I just got an email from Guido Günther, upstream for this package, that the memory leaks are fixed in version 0.16,
which is available in Debian Squeeze.

And 0.16 is in Ubuntu Natty.
