Description Arkadiusz Miskiewicz 2012-01-22 10:51:32 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Upgrading kde to 4.8 including kdepim from 4.4.11.1 to 4.8.

The linux system here has 4GB of ram. Unfortunately importing 7GB of emails from 4.4.11.1 kdepim into kmail2 from kde 4.8 ends up with kernel doing OOM and killing kmail2.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to import 7GB of emails (kdepim 4.4.11.1) on 4GB ram system into kmail2 (kde 4.8)

Actual Results:  
OOM killer killing kmail2

Expected Results:  
Sucessfull import.

Marking as major since can't access my emails due to that!
