Details

Description:

Accountsservice, at some point, starts leaking memory quite a lot. Currently it is using 847MB of memory after being `up 2 days, 4:26`.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 0.6.34-1

Steps to reproduce:

No idea. I can, however, try to provide any information needed given you provide me the steps how to obtain it.

I can tell what does seem to trigger the leak:
* Opening/Closing a (gnome-)terminal (leaks a whooping 20MB of memory with every single terminal)
* Changing from tty1 to any other tty (tty5 for example).
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Fixed in 0.6.34-2 by adding various memleak fixes from upstream.

847M virtual or resident?
Comment by Simonas (nagi) - Sunday, 21 July 2013, 18:54 GMT
Resident of course.

I can confirm it's leaking memory. Upstream has a memleak fix in git, but that alone doesn't fix this.

Can't reproduce this myself.
