[Bug 62317] Re: Evolution memory leak on import of csv (Dapper PPC)

[Eduard Grebe]

** Attachment added: "comma-delimited file that crashes Evolution on import"
   http://librarian.launchpad.net/4438795/adresse-test.csv

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: evolution
  
  When I try to import a CSV (comma delimited) file with addresses
  exported from gmail, evolution stops updating the display and does
  nothing, but it uses most of the CPU and its memory footprint keeps
  rising. I suspect this is a memory leak bug. Even when I open the file
  in gnumeric and export it again with Unix line feeds it does the same.
  Also, a file trimmed to one record still crashes Evolution. A file that
- crashes my evolution can be found here:
- 
- http://maanskyn.za.net/addresses-test.csv
+ crashes my evolution is attached.
  
  An example of what top reports after a few minutes:
  
    PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  5339 eduard    25   0  700m 325m  19m R 95.4 32.2   3:33.26 evolution-2.6
  
  Strangely, the file also crashes Kontact when I try to import it there -
  do they share common code, or is there a very serious problem with my
  file?
