Memory leak when using index

Issue #203 duplicate
jsbien created an issue

During my work on an index, the system monitor reported djview4poliqarp to use 6 GB of memory (I have a screenshot, but I don't think I'm able to reproduce it).

On the other hand djview4poliqarp seems to die without an error message when memory is exhausted. It should be easy to reproduce on the virtual machine http://teksty.klf.uw.edu.pl/61/.

    It is hardly related to index use, as index does not allocate memory. It is either leak n DjVu libraries or some kind of caching.

    Can you reproduce the same leak by just browsing large DjVu document?

    It occured after several hours if continuous browsing, so trying to reproduce would be very time consuming.

    Faster way to check it is to use graphics previews, as multiple DjVu documents are loaded at the same time.

    It seems if there is any leak, it is somewhere in low-level libraries, so I am putting it on hold for now. Reopen if the leak becomes annoying in normal use.
