[Bug 1465664] [NEW] gradual/exponential increase in memory use of indicator-bluetooth

 

Public bug reported:

indicator-bluetooth (0.0.6+14.10.20141006-0ubuntu1) starts automatically
after boot, and its memory use increases continuously, gradually and
exponentially, to the point that it reaches the system limit. Then it
causes overheating and crashes the system requiring a reboot only
possible forcefully by on/off switch of the computer. When I kill the
process from system monitor to avoid this happening, it starts from zero
again (automatically) and restart the gradual increase of memory use.
Obviously there's a loop, but I couldn't figure out or find the reason
or how to solve this. I can not remove indicator-bluetooth permanently
due to package dependencies.

This started happening after I upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04.

My computer is Toshiba Portege Z930 with 8 GB memory (which becomes used
up in app. 30 minutes), Intel® Core™ i7-3687U CPU and Intel® Ivybridge
Mobile graphics card.

I'm not an advanced user, so please excuse me if I have surpassed any
essential step before filing here.
