Description Stefan Winter 2004-08-31 21:52:18 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When the search for a term finds a huge amount of files and these are selected and deleted, a large amount of memory gets allocated and never released.
Even when closing kfind the memory keeps allocated, top shows it as belonging to a kdeinit process.
Probably the memory leak is also there when deleting only few files. I only started noticing it after deleting 1000 files and my system started thrashing. Killing -9 that kdeinit process (which grew to >500m) solved it, but that is not a valid solution I guess.

Just out of curiosity - how did you manage to delete 1000 files from the kfind dialog? I just tried to reproduce your bug, created 10000 files and now it's deleting like at most 1 file per second, because it creates a notification popup for each file, so it would take hours...
