Package: xloadimage Version: 4.1-25 Severity: important Pick a random image that's obviously small and can't possibly exhaust any of your resources (eg, 320x240 pixels in size). I marked this as severity important, because if you didn't already know to run xloadimage under ulimit for safety, now you have a crashed desktop.

Memory has been exhausted; operation cannot continue (sorry). Other rotate options work. -rotate 360 works. Just -rotate 0 causes it to request infinite memory.
