AFAIK the best way to find leaks is using valgrind. Maybe this page will be useful during your hunt, too: http://gnome.org/projects/evolution/bugs.shtml As you obviously are willing to debug this yourself or at least start it, the evolution-hackers list might be a place for you to ask. http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers > If anyone would like access to the core file, that can be arranged. > > BTW, I also have similar problems with evolution-data-server, though it > seems to increase footprint slower, so I only have to kill it every 2-3 > days instead.

You are aware that --force-shutdown stops e-d-s as well as any other Evo related task, including Evolution itself? You can't shutdown Evo only with that command. Just in case, cause I didn't get which part this particularly was about. ...guenther -- char *t="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}} _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
