[Bug 44629] memory leak in gnome-cd

[John Steele Scott]

Public bug reported:

I was looking at a system today where the virtual memory usage of gnome-
cd was over 700MB. It seems this program leaks over 100kB each minute.

How I assessed this on my own machine:

1) With no cd in the computer, launch "gnome-cd". Just let it sit there.

2) In a terminal, run the following pipeline:

  while true; do time=$(date +%T) ; ps --no-headers --format "$time %z"
$(pgrep gnome-cd); sleep 60; done

This will print the virtual memory usage of gnome-cd each minute with a
timestamp. You can exit this command with Ctrl-C.

** Affects: gnome-media (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
