Re: [Evolution] memory leak

[Daniel Yek <danieyek alumni washington edu>]

Evolution often sucks up all my memory - 1 GB of RAM and another 1 GB of swap space when I delete some document element that appeared to be inside nested tables. It always happen during message composition, especially when editing and replying to a previous message.

Recent weeks, it has crashed randomly on me often, without any identifiable cause.

I know this information is not very useful, but that is all I have at this point. I'll update with more information if I manage to spend time on it and find out the problems.
