Address Book (Contacts) Thumbnails Filling Up System Drive in Mavericks

Product: | OS X | Product Version: | 10.9.1 |
Classification: | Serious Bug | Reproducible: | Not Applicable |
Summary: In OS X 10.9, the thumbnails from the Contacts app (stored in /private/var/folders/[random characters]/[random characters]/C/com.apple.AddressBook/com.apple.AddressBook.thumbnailcache) have accumulated over time until they were eating 30 GB of space on my main system. Steps to Reproduce: The system install needs to be several months old, presumably with a populated address book (with contact icons). I have contact syncing turned on with Facebook and iCloud, but am unsure if that's related. Expected Results: The Contacts app should use no more space than is necessary for caching address book thumbnails. Actual Results: The Contacts app is using 30 GB on my boot drive for caching address book thumbnails.
