Open attribute table hangs when a ShapeFile layer has usaved changes

[zachariahyoder]

To reproduce:

Won't produce error:

a) Simply open the attributes table window on a ShapeFile layer

Will produce error:

a) Change the layer to editable b) Add a new point c) Open the attributes table

The memory usage will then increase about about 1G (in my test example). Of course this then causes the system to run slowly if you don't have that much memory!

This seems very similar to #1198, however there is no PostGIS involved. Are they related?

I notice there are two memory leak fixes that involved PostGIS NULL values, but again, this doesn't involve PostGIS. [8217], [6391]

There was also no copying involved in producing this error.

Please test with 1.0 preview release from QGIS download page and report back here.
