Evolution's memory usage keeps increasing constantly since it's started until it crashes due to lack of memory. Like this: GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:172: failed to allocate 8388608 bytes aborting... (gnome_segv2:7345): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.

could you try latest evolution/evolution-data-server/gtkhtml and see if it behaves the same ? memory usage problem are probably much more subject to receive some help upstream, so you'll probably get your problem fixed quicker by reporting this upstream and providing them some data (valgrind reports, ...)
and please copy the link here if you open a bug upstream.
cesc, any progress here?
The problem has persisted during several upgrades, although I haven't had time to try the latest version evolution yet. I'm still runing 2.8.3-r2 and 2.10.x is already available. I'll do a fresh installation of gentoo somtime during the next week or two, if the problem persists I'll inform you and upstream. The problem is clearly related to fetching email, since when I work offline it doesn't happen. Also it seems proportional to the amount of email kept on the pop servers. cesc
any news here ?
After installing a new gentoo from scratch I have not seen this memory leak problem again. I'm marking the bug as fixed, as I can't reproduce it anymore. However I have the feeling that it might have been exposed by some USE flag that I'm not using anymore in the new system (maybe mono or pda?) If the problem reappears I'll post a new bug report indicating which flags made it surface.
