Summary: mail-client/ximian-connector uses up almost all available memory

Description Stephan Rütten 2005-03-02 02:24:20 UTC 
mail-client/ximian-connector uses up all available memory making the machine dead slow.
More specifically, there are three of these processes:

/usr/libexec/evolution/2.0/evolution-exchange-storage --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Exchange_Component_Factory:2.0 --oaf-ior-fd=46

that use all swap memory and a lot of memory.
If it happens, it happens in combination with calendar activity:
While opening, editing or viewing calendar items but also directly after starting up.

Three times I have left the machine running for about half an hour and memory usage didn't go down.
Usually I kill all evolution processes and restart the application, sometimes this works sometimes it doesn't and memory usage will grow rapidly right after evolution has been restarted.



Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Evolution with ximian-connector enabled
2.Open a personal or Public Folder calendar 
3.Sit back an watch memory usage grow.

Actual Results:  
Memory usage of 
/usr/libexec/evolution/2.0/evolution-exchange-storage
grows rapidly and the computer becomes unresponsive.

Expected Results:  
Not use an insane amount of memory.

Comment 1 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-16 06:37:05 UTC 
does this still happen with the lastest version of evolution and the 2.2.3
version of the connector? ( just marked stable )
Comment 2 Jody Haynes 2005-06-22 18:59:21 UTC 
I'm currently running the following version of evolution and the ximian-connector:

Everytime I connect the Exchange server and do any of the following operations,
I get into a state where the CPU is 100% used and a memory leak occurs.  The
only way I can recover from this is to kill all the evoltion processes.

Operations to produce the memory leak behavior:

-- Any Calendar operation
-- Delete serveral emails in a row
-- Open an attachment directly from an email

do you see this problem with evolution-exchange and gnome 2.12 ?
