evolution will eat up all RAM when editing a message containing this

Bug Description

I was answering a message that contained this, and whilst editing it, evolution started eating up all the RAM memory. I have the spellcheck activated to English UK (probably the bug comes from the spellchecker...):

Content of the email:

-----

export TREE=spec.tf4.ens41.nh
export BASENAME=`echo ${TREE%.nh}`
# blank internal nodes
perl -p -e 's/[\w\/]+\-(\d+)/$1/g' $TREE > delete1.txt
# blank completed genomes and move star
perl -p -e 's/\w+\*\-(\d+)/$1\*/g' delete1.txt > delete2.txt
# blank noyet genomes
perl -p -e 's/\w+\-\*(\d+)/\*$1/g' delete2.txt > delete3.txt
# blank common groupings
perl -p -e 's/\.\w+//g' delete3.txt > delete4.txt
# no spaces nor returns
perl -p -e 's/[\s\n]+//g' delete4.txt > $BASENAME.taxon_id.nh
rm delete?.txt

and some other blobs of regular text...

Hello Albert,

Which version of Evolution is this? Are you running Dapper or Edgy?

I'm unable to reproduce this in Dapper.

Could you follow the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind while reproducing the problem? This may take a long time and may generate a very large log file. But that's the only thing I can think of to isolate the memory consumption.

I can't reproduce it again either. Weird. I guess this bug can be
closed. I will send a valgrind log if it surfaces again.

closing for now then. Feel free to reopen with the valgrind log if you get the issue again
