Bug 144433 – digikam-0.9.0-beta1 memory leak

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2006-08-19 09:50:08 UTC]

(at least) beta1 has a memory leak which causes swap space to fill up after repeatedly using digikam.
The swapspace cannot be reclaimed after the program is exited which eventually leads to OOM killing of random, innocent processes (in my case apache was almost always the victim).
Details, workaround and fix can be found in the URL (upstream bugzilla) above.
