#7317: Pidgin memory allocation grows without limit
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------

     Type:  defect        |    Status:  new  
Component:  MSN           |   Version:  2.5.2
 Keywords:  memory grows  |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 When my newly installed pidgin 2.5.2 on Windows XP is left alone the
 memory allocation as shown by task manager grows without limit until the
 PC becomes unusable. Today 100Mbyte in 3 hours. I have 4 MSN buddies,
 nothing else and there is no message exchange going on. It happen with the
 buddies window visible or minimized. If I repeatedly minimize/restore the
 buddies window the memory allocation drops to a few Mbyte then starts to
 grow again. Had the same problem with 2.5.1. Is there a problem with use
 of heap memory, garbage collection or the like?
 Regards Helge
