What were you doing when the application crashed? Closing Evolution... (it had used 322 Mb! of my system) Distribution: Ubuntu 6.10 (edgy) Gnome Release: 2.16.1 2006-10-02 (Ubuntu) BugBuddy Version: 2.16.0 Memory status: size: 1505226752 vsize: 0 resident: 1505226752 share: 0 rss: 429420544 rss_rlim: 0 CPU usage: start_time: 1160520302 rtime: 0 utime: 1923 stime: 0 cutime:1483 cstime: 0 timeout: 440 it_real_value: 0 frequency: 474 Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/evolution-2.8' (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Can you reproduce this?
Well, yes... I don't even have to try. Every time I start Evolution, it takes about 25-30 Mb. Then it begins to grow and grow. Like ten minutes later, Evolution is getting around 300 to 350 Mb, even if I am not using it actively. I kept it minimized, checking mail every 10 minutes. My computer get very slow and I have to quit Evolution to recover the system memory. One of every three times I try to shut down Evolution it crashes. Now, in order to use Evolution, I open it, check mail, and close it before the "memory hunger" begins. I am willing to help you in every way. Just have in mind two limitations: I am not a geek and English is not my first language. How can I help?
