           Summary: korganizer and korgac using a lot of memory loading
                    std.ics with bad v-card attachment
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 4.2.2
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rfkd at fietze-home.de


Version:           4.2.2 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When starting korganizer, korganizer and korgac use all the memory and a lot of
swap when starting. Due to swapping starting korganizer and korgac takes
several minutes on a 2x500MHz box with 512 MiB RAM.

Either this problem started due to a recent update of those programs or due to
an invitation (send out by korganizer 3.5.10) or event (locally) added to
korganizer.

When inspecting std.ics I found an area with lots of funny characters inside
some VEVENT. There was an attached VCard inside some invitation with an X-LABEL
field and a name using an umlaut. This umlaut, originally an a-umlaut, is
erroneously repeated many times using the characters 0x8c3, 0x83, 0x8c2 and
0x82 in different orders. This entry existed long before korganizer started
having problems.
