600MB of memory, while composing an e-mail
+ [karmic] attaching certain file causes evolution to choke taking more than 
600MB of memory, while composing an e-mail

** Description changed:

+ This is a new bug in karmic, not present in jaunty.
+ 
  I have a 6mb pdf file which consists of scanned pages. I try to attach
  it to an e-mail in evolution but it becomes unresponsive and top shows
  it's taking up to 600mb and growing. The same does not happen with 6mb
  of random data (courtesy of /dev/urandom). I am not going to attach the
  file here since it is copyrighted material, but I can surely provide the
  file privately to whoever needs it for debugging purposes.
+ 
+ Update: the same happens with a 900k zip file, again I can't post it
+ here but can send it privately. This time there are no huge scanned pdfs
+ involved but there still are pdfs in the zip file.

** Tags added: regression-potential
