Re: [Evolution] memory leak

[Jorge Urdaneta <jorge urdaneta gmail com>]

Well, i have some resource problems. Running evo over valgrind is very
hard, specially for me because i use it at work.

Sorry i have aborted the test. If someone wanna help, just run evolution
over valgrind until it begins to eat all the memory of the computer.
Then, close normally evo and make available to the developers the
valgrind report. It is important to have a lot of mails (i have 500+)
and open them (specially if have large attachments).
