[Workrave 1.9.4]

Hi,

within the last three days I received twice a message from Windows that 
I was running out of working memory and Windows suggested closing 
Workrave ("source: Microsoft-Windows-Resource-Exhaustion-Detector"):

"Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The 
following programs consumed the most virtual memory: Workrave.exe (3244) 
consumed 1697996800 bytes, CommunityForumsNNTPServer.exe (2556) consumed 
167489536 bytes, and opera.exe (4232) consumed 158728192 bytes."

"Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The 
following programs consumed the most virtual memory: Workrave.exe (3224) 
consumed 1618186240 bytes, Skype.exe (2740) consumed 94126080 bytes, and 
GreatNews.exe (3964) consumed 89440256 bytes."

Looking at Workrave in Process Explorer showed Workrave taking over 600 
MB of memory ("working set"). I stopped and started Workrave again. 
Workrave starts with around 18 MB and after a few hours, it is now 
already at 170 MB and I can see it increasing at around 8 KB every 
second.

At this speed, 600 MB will be reached after around 20 hours.
