In GNU Emacs 24.0.91.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin11.2.0, NS apple-appkit-1138.23)
 of 2011-11-25 on MacBook-Air.local
Windowing system distributor `Apple', version 10.3.1138
configured using `configure  '--with-ns''

when using vm, emacs grows in size every time I read my inbox, and
eventually crashes.  garbage-collect has no effect.  memory-usage.el
gives the output below, I would be grateful for any hints on how to
identify the problem...

[at the time of this report, emacs grew to about 200mb (using activity
monitor on the mac).  it's initial size was about 30mb. ]

More information was requested, but none was given within 5 weeks, so
I'm closing this bug.  If this is still an issue, please reopen the bug
report.
