knode leaks memory

Bug Description

Binary package hint: knode

Version 0.99.01 - using KDE 4.1.2 - installed via Kubuntu Intrepid

It uses more and more memory, and top shows it can use several hundred megabytes after few mintues - it seems to me that it does not allocate by itself (ie when I do nothing), but if I choose a different NG for browsing, even if it has been browsed before, increases the memory usage by some megabytes.

Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

knode:
  Installed: 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
*** 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I only have the server news.digitalmars.com connected, and subscribe to the following NG's there:

digitalmars.D.debugger

It should be mentioned that the number of messages in some of these are significant, at 25k, 16k, 13k and 11k. I have been using KDE3 based KNode for several years without any issues of this sort.

I let it just be open for a little while, it seems like it leaks almost as much while not using it - I closed it down as it reached 500Mb.

---------------
kdepimlibs (4:4.1.2-1ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  [ Jonathan Thomas ]
  * Remove 02_no_dependency_file.diff since it causes kdepimlibs5-dev not to
    depend on kdelibs5-dev
  * Add kabc/addressee.cpp, addressee.h and field.cpp to the build clean
    target, as they are generated by the makeaddressee script during the build.

  [ Scott Kitterman ]
  * Add kubuntu_01_fix_knode_mem_leak.diff patch (LP: #293081)
  * Add build-dep on libphonon-dev so it will build on Jaunty
