[Bug 330446] Re: Memory leak in kcatalog.cpp

[Jonathan Thomas]

The source package for intrepid-proposed can be found attached to bug
314016.

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: kde4libs
+ *Below added by Jonathan Thomas*
+     Stable Release Update (SRU) infos:
+     -Impact: International users suffer from severe memory leaks when checking their mail, among other things
+     -Addressed by: This bug has been addressed by adding an upstream patch included in KDE 4.2 that fixes this.
+     -Testcase: Use language localization and check mail in KMail.
+     -Patch/regression potential: Small. The patch is from upstream (committed for KDE 4.2.1) and upstream is generally good at           keeping patches safe.

  This bug affects Ubuntu 8.10 kde4libs packages for 4.1.X and 4.2.0.
  
  There is a problem in kdecore/localization/kcatalog.cpp which causes
  kmail (at least -- the bug probably affects other applications as well)
  to leak large amounts of memory fairly fast (I've seen 2 MB leaked when
  kmail checks for new mail, although usually less).
  
  The upstream bug report can be found at
  <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184529>, and also has a link to a
  patch for 4.2.1 which is also directly applicable to 4.1.4. The direct
  link to the patch itself is
  <http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kdecore/localization/kcatalog.cpp?r1=899214&r2=918505&view=patch>.
