Bug Description

Binary package hint: pingus

Pingus 0.7.1 takes more than 200Mb RAM after ~15 mins of play - it seems there are serious memory leaks in pingus from Ubuntu Gutsy :(
I've played about 10 levels of tutorial island and noticed, that my computer started to operate very slowly. Look at the output of free command when I just started pingus and after ~10 levels:

1. Memory usage after first pingus level:
 ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ free
              total used free shared buffers cached
 Mem: 126144 119004 7140 0 6528 38092
 -/+ buffers/cache: 74384 51760
 Swap: 1020088 125736 894352

2. Memory usage after 10'th pingus level:
 ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ free
              total used free shared buffers cached
 Mem: 126144 123432 2712 0 1712 19648
 -/+ buffers/cache: 102072 24072
 Swap: 1020088 361260 658828

3. Memory usage when I quit pingus:
 ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ free
              total used free shared buffers cached
 Mem: 126144 105540 20604 0 5244 31852
 -/+ buffers/cache: 68444 57700
 Swap: 1020088 147764 872324

Please don't close Baltix bugs reported by main baltix developer.

This bug can be fixed in newly released Pingus 0.7.2 (there are several memry leaks fixed in 0.7.2, look at http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/pingus/trunk/pingus/ChangeLog?rev=3407&r1=3241&r2=3407 ), also this bug isn't related to Debian bug #278866 .
Please look more serious before closing important bugs as wontfix - serious memory leaks are always very important, as can cause system freeze and data loss !

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - the Hardy Heron.

If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "How to request new packages" at [WWW] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#request-new-packages

Can verify that. Pingus (0.7.2) was on for several hours. Machine locked up eventually (cursor position updates every 10 secs or so) and hard disk went nuts (for page file I assume). Hard reset (power off) required. The only other app open was FireFox 3 (Internet down at the time) and Terminal to launch Pingus @ 1900 x 1140. This is on a 4 GB E8400 machine running 8.04.1 x64.
