When typing a word and then including any punctuation sign, it starts consuming all the RAM freezing the system until I kill the process. It's probably related with the upstream bug on the referenced URL. Attached you will find a trace of Do when the issue occurs...

Could you test if this is fixed in gnome-do 0.8.1.3?
It seems to be solved in the latest release...
Fake Alarm... the leaks are back... under similar conditions, but now while typing http URLs...
I've just noticed that behaviour that triggers this for me on amd64 is working just fine on x86. Sebastian, I don't suppose it would be easy for you to test on x86?
I would try it, but I'll have to wait until I get a new HD for an old coppermine... As soon as I get it I'll test and report here... (if the machine survives)
Confirming this on a x86 box. Whenever I mistype a command it freezes my system using up all my RAM and disk. The example that just happened: I wanted to type gnome-terminal but instead wrote gnome-termnal As soon as I typed the "n" after the "m", instead of an "i", my system froze and I took 15 minutes to able to go to tty1 and kill the process.
I haven't been able to trigger this anymore recently. Are you still seeing this with gnome-do 0.8.2? Also, which version of mono are you using? I have a suspicion that the problem may actually be there.
Sorry about resurrecting such an old bug. I moved to Synapse some time ago but I as far as I can remember the leaks dissapeared with a mono update. From qlop -g I can see I was using mono-2.4. Nowadays mono-2.10 is stable so I think it's very hard to reproduce that. For me, it have no sense to keep this bug open. Thanks.
Agreed. I'm closing it. Feel free to reopen/comment if it can be reproduced with current stable mono.
