I've been using 6.3.5.1 for a week or two, since Gentoo upgraded the
unstable package.  I've noticed that offlineimap seems to accumulate
memory on my machine.  I measured memory usage using top after a fresh
startup and a single synchronization, after several synchronizations,
and then again after a few hours:
        After      After       Several    
        1st sync   ~5 syncs    hours later
VIRT:   1045m      1381m       1637m      
RES:    273m       701m        981m       
SHR:    4440       4448        4452       
Memory usage seems to continue to grow as I leave it running.
Restarting once a day or so keeps memory usage within "reasonable" (<
1GB) limits but is less then ideal...
I've got about 165k messages being synchronized between Google and a
local maildir.  My offlineimaprc is included below with the sensitive
bits obfuscated.   This was not happening before I upgraded to 6.5.3.1,
or at least memory usage didn't increase so much over the period of a
week or so that I noticed there was a problem.
Any suggestions for how to best debug?
             Thanks, Keith
