Package: xulrunner-6.0
Version: 6.0-4
Severity: important
Affects: conkeror
Hi there!
I do not think there is anything more to add here, IIRC Axel Beckert
(conkeror's maintainer) told me it is a known problem, nevertheless
reporting it (full log attached):
=====
[43835.905298] xulrunner-bin invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x201da, order=0,
oom_adj=0, oom_score_adj=0

=====
Some notes:
1) looking at my syslog (attached) I found out that this happened
already on September 3rd.
2) this causes hibernation to not succeed with a nasty error, "PM: Not
enough free swap", which is unbelievable given that I have 2GB RAM
and 2GB swap.
3) I do not think that about 100 tabs (buffers in conkeror) is so much,
especially considering how many Mike has ;-)

I have now installed xulrunner-7.0 and I will report back what happens.
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
