[Bug 580902] [NEW] Major memory leak.

[Karol Bryd]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: digikam

There seems to be a major memory leak in Digikam in Ubuntu 10.04:

digikam:
  Installed: 2:1.2.0-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 2:1.2.0-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 2:1.2.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


In can be reproduced by editing a few (about 10) raw images (I've used raw images from Canon 7D). I usually apply Local contrast filter and after editing 7-10 images there is not enough memory to execute further filters:

digikam(5789)/digikam (core): Caught out-of-memory exception! Aborting
operation std::bad_alloc

Then a crash is also very likely:

<unknown>: Fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on X server :0.0.
KCrash: Application 'digikam' crashing...
sock_file=/home/kbryd/.kde/socket-quad/kdeinit4__0
Unable to start Dr. Konqi

I have 4GB of memory on my PC so it should be enough for editing more
than 7-10 images...It looks like memory is not fully released after
closing the Editor window.
