Package: kmail
Version: KDE 2.9.2 
Severity: normal
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

I use KMail to connect to a Courier-IMAP server.  KMail is normally pretty hard on \
CPU and memory, but I recently noticed this.  It would be funny, if it wasn't so \
absurd.  Please note that KMail had only been runnig for about an hour; possibly \
less.  My inbox has 100-200 messages in it at any given time. I have about 30 folders \
on the server, and 10 on my local machine.  The folling is a snip from 'top':

Mem:   513904K av,  503772K used,   10132K free,       0K shrd,   11340K buff
Swap:  136512K av,  136484K used,      28K free                   49648K cached

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
15263 ser        9   0  417M 334M 12632 S     0.0 66.7  41:12 kmail
 2202 root       9   0  104M  31M  1384 S     1.0  6.3 149:07 X


Notice that KMail is using 417 *megs* of ram, or four times as much as X.

I was wondering why kswapd was sitting at the top of the process list.

BTW, KMail didn't crash; I exited it.  I'm not sure what other debugging info I can \
send to you.  That magnitude of memory leak/usage is pretty scary.
