           Summary: vCalendar has major memory leak
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.7.10
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: users at lists.claws-mail.org
        ReportedBy: dnschneid at gmail.com


I'm using version 3.7.10 with the patch for bug 2516 applied, as downloaded
from the PPA.

I'm finding that when viewing any significant-sized Google calendar, each time
the calendar is viewed, the memory usage of claws shoots up, and does not
return.

A good calendar to test this on is Google's Stardates calendar:
https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/%23stardate%40group.v.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics
If you subscribe to it, then show it, then look at something else, then show it
again repeatedly, you should find that Claws' memory usage goes up by about
4.5MB each time.

And it's worse with a bigger calendar.  My personal calendar makes it shoot up
10 megs at a time, and my class calendar (with a lot of repeating events)
increases the memory usage by 75 MB at each view!  Yikes!
