evolution-data-server memory leak?

Hello,

Can someone else confirm a memory leak in evolution-data-server 
1.4.1-0ubuntu3 ???

e-d-s is eating LOTS of ram. If I kill it, the next time it shows up 
it's using 15Mb of RAM (which I suppose is Ok). A bit later (lets say an 
hour or so), it's using near 50Mb. Later on, it grows up to 100 or 
150Mb. I've found it yesterday using ~250Mb.

I'm new to Ubuntu (although not to Linux...), and installed Breezy on my 
box a couple of days ago. I don't know if this is a known issue, if it's 
an upstream problem, or just a bug in this particular version.

I haven't done anything "intensive" with my system yet, so it doesn't 
hurt too much, but I don't like the idea of having e-d-s using all the 
RAM it finds... I think that's clearly a memory leak.

The problem is that I don't know how to trace-down or debug this kind of 
  issues.

Any ideas? Can anyone confirm this?

Regards,
