Details

Since version 1.3 kaffeine has a memory leak.
Version 1.3.1 hasn't fixed this issue.

I use kaffeine mainly for watching live TV with my TV card.
As soon as I let kaffeine idle the memory usage rises.
While watching live TV the memory usage also rises but
at a much slower pace.

The reason is probably the DVB EPG grabber,
see attached kaffeine log.

To this bug report attached is also a excerpt of my system log
where kaffeine is killed because its memory usage grows to
10GiB-15GiB.
