[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#766762: upower: fatal memory leak on low battery

[Michael Banck]

Package: upower
Version: 0.99.1-3
Severity: important

Hi,

twice now my notebook grinded to a halt cause upowerd consumed more than
1.5G of memory:

27460 root   20   0 1947396 1.630g   1396 S   0.0 45.7   2:18.29 upowerd

This appears to happen when the battery is running very low and upowerd
needs to kick in.

This seems to be a known bug upstream:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82659

And a (draft) patch exists:
