#3465: Pidgin 2.2.1 (Windows) steals all system recources (RAM & CPU)

Reporter:  elof    |       Owner:  datallah       
    Type:  defect  |      Status:  new            
Priority:  minor   |   Component:  winpidgin (gtk)
 Version:  2.2.1   |    Keywords:

-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
 When Pidgin has been running for a while, it grows extreamely big, hogging
 more than 100 MB or RAM. This makes my machine start swapping like crazy -
 the machine becomes unusable since all system recources are busy swapping.
 Every time I kill the Pidgin process, the swapping stops and I get a nice
 and responsive machine again.

 I havenät found any pattern in when this happen, so unfortunetly I have no
 additional info or debug messages... Will add this if I find any.
