[Synaptic-devel] Memory leak?

[Tanja + Jack]

Dear synaptic developer,

After running synaptic for a while (changing my mind on whether to
install/remove packages a couple of times) I noticed that the computer
became really really slow. Then I found out (with top) that synaptic
used 400MB+ of memory, which was sufficient to clog memory and swap.
Is this a memory leak bug? Or is it an apt problem?

I use synaptic 0.44-rb1 with apt 0.5.5cnc6-rb3 on Suse 8.2

Thanks for the effort you put into apt and synaptic. I find these tools
very convenient.

Cheers,
Jack van de Vossenberg
