Comment 9 for bug 572813

i removed .pulse-cookie - no change. haven't tried removing .pulse as it seems pointless - as you can see from attached strace, it does not touch any of the fiels in user's directory. instead, it seems to be stuck in some sort of config reload loop: load configs - sleep for a while - load configs - sleep... it is during this cycle that RSS growth happens - a few kilobytes each time. over long period, this adds up.
