Dear Maintainer,
It looks like if you run
rss2irc --interval=1 'http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=filelight.git&a=rss'
it will gradually consume memory till there is no more available.
The speed of memory consumption depends linearly on the value set with
--interval in a couple of experiments I made. It looks like this happens
also without new feeds generated. For about 4 hours it consumed around
350MB.
As I'm running a couple of these executables to collect feeds from
different places the free memory depletes very fast overnight.
Thank you for your time.

Forgot to mention that I encountered this issue after a update to 1.x
version I think. As far as I remember it wasn't present in the 0.4 version.

The popularity contest numbers are very low:

So if there are many users, they are hiding quite successfully.

Greetings,
