Description Bas Zoetekouw 2006-05-29 09:40:06 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Evince leaks memory when reloading a document.  
When I open a document (about 100 pages of text, no pictures), evince uses 34MB.
 After each reload (ctrl-R), about 3MB is added to the footprint.  Top shows
this  (each line after a reload):

14305 bas        0 61664  34m  25m S  0.0  3.4   0:03.12 evince
14305 bas        0 64152  37m  25m S  0.0  3.7   0:05.56 evince

14305 bas        0 70020  41m  26m S  0.0  4.1   0:10.33 evince

14305 bas        0 74696  46m  26m S  0.0  4.6   0:15.10 evince
(and after reloading 5 more times:)

oh, I forgot to mention, this is with a CVS head of May 11th.
Comment 2 Elijah Newren 2006-05-31 19:35:03 UTC 
Did 305229 return?  ;)
Comment 3 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2006-12-04 08:44:47 UTC 
This doesn't happen to me on 0.6.1, I reloaded a lot of times but worst I got was 2 extra Mbs.

Maybe it has been fixed? Does it still happen Bas?
Comment 4 Bas Zoetekouw 2007-03-24 15:36:35 UTC 
The bug indeed seems to be gone in 0.6.1.  The newer version uses a lot more memory though to start with (65MB instead of 35MB).
Comment 5 Bas Zoetekouw 2007-03-24 15:39:31 UTC 
Oops, please disregard that remark about the increased memory use; I was looking at the the wrong line in the top output ;)
The leaks indeed seem to be gone though.
Comment 6 Carlos Garcia Campos 2007-03-24 17:36:34 UTC 
Closing as fixed, then. Thanks for your help.
