Please let me know if there is any additional information I might provide that will be helpful, or if there are any patches/workarounds I might apply. What version of ORBit2 do you have installed? What does "rpm -q ORBit2" output? This bug has been in NEEDINFO for over 5 months. Closing. If there is more information available, please reopen and include that information. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: Even since I started using RHEL/ES with evolution and sawfish (~2 weeks ago) I have encountered a system hang state where the system is running but not accessible (does not respond to ANY keyboard input nor to attempts to access the system remotely, via ssh). After poking around and leaving traces of the system available on remote displays, it would now appear that evolution has a memory leak and after a day or so it consumes the 512M of physical memory and all the swap space leaving the system inaccessible. The last available "top" trace showed evolution with 63% of the memory. From this I deduced that there was a memory leak in evolution. Subsequent high levels of paging (with encumbent system slowness) tended to confirm the theory. In evolution, I use two IMAP accounts, one of them very, very large (huge numbers of folders containing many thousands of messages). Evolution handles this fairly smoothly, with the notable exception of managing subscriptions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-1.4.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Login to an X session configured to run evolution as the mail client and sawfish 3.0 as the window manager. 2.wait about a day 3.observe system is "frozen" solid. Actual Results: Had to crash the system (power down) to clear the condition. Additional info:
