Bug#323023: False alarm

Since there was no response to the bug report, I decided to rumage
through some sources to find the memory hog. It turns out that the
problem was with my local configuration. Somehow, the file
/etc/pango/pango.modules got corrupted and was padded with zeros to
about 500MB in size. Which explains the enormous memory consumption,
since this file is loaded in its entirety into memory when libpango is
initialized. Running update-pango-modules fixed the problem.

Sorry for the false alarm.

Sincerely,

Igor
