Hi,

From the debian list-changes about webkitGTK 2.20:
-------------
  webkit2gtk 2.20.0 contains a security feature named Gigacage that
  requires a virtual memory region of several gigabytes and is used for
  variable-length random-access allocations.

  One consequence of this is that webkit-based applications may not run if
  their maximum virtual memory size is restricted (e.g. using ulimit -v).

  If it's not possible to remove the VM size limits the Gigacage can be
  disabled by setting the environment variable GIGACAGE_ENABLED=no. Keep
  in mind that you will be making your system less secure by doing this.
--------------

Looks like nobody owns the ticket yet, but I thought it would be good to let
you know.

Pierre
