I have followed it up to this point with +top and free and I can see memory usage growing to something like +700MB (RES) at which point the process is killed. + +I am using notmuch 0.17 (from the debian jessie package 0.17-3) on +debian wheezy 64 bit. + +Any pointers as to what to do to get past this point would be greatly +appreciated. If I have just deleted that many messages should I just +expect notmuch to use that much memory? (Unfortunately the company +supplying the server does not allow swap to be enabled so I can't fudge +it that way) + +I did also try running it with NOTMUCH_TALLOC_REPORT, but that didn't +produce a report (though I was unsure if I needed to rebuild notmuch +before that would work). + +Happy to build notmuch from source if this might be an interesting bug +worth tracking down. + +Hamish + +(PS sorry to moderators - I subscribed and then sent this email from the +wrong address a couple of times)
