[Bug 289932] [NEW] Massive memory leak in Thunderbird

[Yang]

Public bug reported:

There's a massive memory leak in the Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 that is
running on my 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04.  After using it just a bit (in
particular, after switching around folders a few times), my swap
partition goes nuts, causing my system to come to a screeching pause for
up to 20 minutes before things ease up (or Thunderbird is killed by the
kernel).  This only started happening about 2 months back or so.  Let me
know what further information would be helpful.  Thanks in advance for
any help.
