no x86 signoff. When liferea 1.8.0 converts my 1.6 profile, it pegs 100% CPU and hangs the application. If you then kill -9 the process and restart it, it works perfectly, but this seems to be a fairly major issue for what will be a common use-case.

Atleast on amd64, not stable.

Has a very nasty bug I'm not willing to duplicate.

When reading a summary. I noticed all my RAM (6GB) was used up
and the swap was being eaten up whilst CPU was at 100%.
I switched to a TTY which took about 5 minutes to login as root.
(# top)
revealed a 3-4 liferea process eating about 14MB(may be more) each.
I tried killing them an may be succeed, but the system was still unresponsive
(# ps -u user | grep liferea)
showed a 1000s of lifereas and still growing
(# killall liferea)
failed
(# shutdown -r now)
failed (couldn't stop some processes like start-kde, kdm, xdm).

After about 5 mins of issuing the shutdown command, I decided to manually power-off the system.

This fork explosion is worse than the common memory leaks that have plagued liferea in the past.
