Bug#538225: krb5-auth-dialog: memory leak overnight, 245MB resident, 999MB virtual

[Eamonn Hamilton]

Package: krb5-auth-dialog
Version: 0.12-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I've noticed a problem with this package. During the day, the emmory usage is sane, however when I leave my desktop locked at night and return in the morning after the credentials had expired, I find that krb5-auth-dialog is using several hundred MB and is actually resident.

I'm guessing this is sub-optimal :)

Sure, it'll be Monday I guess. Question, however - my version of klist
doesn't have a '-v' option - I'm assuming you meant -f?

It is - but I can't seem to reproduce this here. Could you attache a
"klist -v" when the ticket has expired so I can see the ticket flags,
etc.
