Waiting for link to upstream bug and meaningful valgrind data attached to it. Will close as NEEDINFO soon.
Well at least the problem seems to be reproducible, after three days uptime the process is already growing again. I'll try, but this is my work/office machine where I usually tackle other problems... top - 22:49:45 up 3 days, 2:08, 3 users, load average: 0.12, 0.21, 0.18 Tasks: 185 total, 1 running, 182 sleeping, 1 stopped, 1 zombie Cpu(s): 0.9%us, 0.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 3924536k total, 2876556k used, 1047980k free, 112740k buffers Swap: 16402320k total, 1147108k used, 15255212k free, 706768k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4937 huettel 20 0 1999m 735m 11m S 0 19.2 1:35.66 kded4 3736 root 20 0 420m 234m 1612 S 0 6.1 1:28.94 polkitd 5041 huettel 20 0 998m 92m 26m S 0 2.4 10:17.35 plasma-desktop 3934 root 20 0 640m 80m 40m S 0 2.1 237:12.33 X 21481 huettel 20 0 656m 77m 29m S 0 2.0 1:51.38 kmail 5038 huettel 20 0 677m 34m 4920 S 0 0.9 0:03.89 knotify4
Path of in-memory executable did not match path of on-disk polkitd. So possibly there was an update in the meantime and an old version was still running. Anyway, valgrind is running. If problems appear, I'll reopen.
