Bug#635691: Memory leak.

[G.W. Haywood]

Confirmed that this fault is still present three years on.

The app leaks huge quantities of memory even when it is not used.

In this example it appears bad enough to use up all available swap
(2GiB) in about a month and so kill the machine:

The maintainer seems to have left the building:

Perhaps this package should be dropped from Debian.
