Comment 9 for bug 778757

This was my posting for bug # 879 696 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntuone-client/+bug/879696) - Which I classified as a duplicate of this...

UbuntuOne Sync Daemon consumed 100% of available RAM (6.9 GB of 8.0 GB) As a result the machine went into SWAPPING thrash. Clicking 'Restart' in the UbuntuOneControlPanel had no effect.

Unfortunately, the Swap memory went up to 45% before I was able to open LaunchPad, so the attached information reflects the state of the machine after system reboot ~ rather than at the time of the incident. However, I have attached some screen-shots I WAS able to capture before the machine tanked.

Because the Ubuntu One process runs as a background daemon and cannot be ended without killing the process it seems like it should be immediately classified as Critical/Urgent/Total Platform Killer.
