  Extreme memory leak in Pidgin when attempting to play sound

Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pidgin

  Pidgin sits usually between 10mb and 12mb memory usage, but since a
  very recent update (today, 9th March), as soon as I recieve a message,
  the memory usage jumps within seconds to nearly a gigabyte.

  running.
