 This has only happened recently, but when left on for multiple hours at a
 time (usually 3-5) Pidgin climbs to about 1.6GB of Memory (roughly half of
 what my physical system total is).

 I have tried disabling plugins and i still see the same issue.  I searched
 for general memory leaks here and on the GTK+ bug tracker and i did not
 see anything relating to what i have seen.

 Interestingly, this did not happen from the start.  I was running fine for
 months before it started happening.  Nothing new was installed in the time
 between when it worked and when it didnt work.

 I have tried a full removal/reinstall and i still see the same issue.

 Also, I know this has little to no effect on the troubleshooting process,
 but if i boot into Linux (Latest Ubuntu release) and run pidgin there,
 everything is fine.

 I have attached a screenshot of the task manager.
