Package: epiphany-browser Version: 2.30.6-1 Severity: important when loading the website at [1], epiphany becomes unresponsive and slowly starts eating memory until it is killed by the oom killer or an impatient user.
[1] http://inspiredeconomist.com/2010/10/02/frito-lay-to-pull-compostable-packaging-for-now/#disqus_thread opening the same website in the libwebkit reference browser /usr/lib/webkit-1.0-2/libexec/GtkLauncher works without problems. i've run epiphany several times in gdb, and when i killed it in the memory-eating phase, it always ended up somewhere in javascript code, so i suppose that the site somehow escapes the limits on cpu and/or ram usage imposed on javascript (there are such limits, right?). below is a typical backtrace: Program received signal SIGTERM, Terminated. memcpy () at ../sysdeps/x86_64/memcpy.S:502 502 ../sysdeps/x86_64/memcpy.S: No such file or directory. in ../sysdeps/x86_64/memcpy.S (gdb) bt #0 memcpy () at ../sysdeps/x86_64/memcpy.S:502 #1 0x00007ffff52f3be1 in WTF::Vector<unsigned short, 64ul>::tryExpandCapacity(unsigned long) () from /usr/lib/libwebkit-1.0.so.2 #2 0x00007ffff52f3cb6 in bool WTF::Vector<unsigned short, 64ul>::tryAppend<unsigned short>(unsigned short const*, unsigned long) () from /usr/lib/libwebkit-1.0.so.2 #3 0x00007ffff52ee9ea in append (exec=0x7fffd41d3398, thisValue=..., args=<value optimized out>) at ../JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSStringBuilder.h:68 #4 JSC::arrayProtoFuncJoin (exec=0x7fffd41d3398, thisValue=..., args=<value optimized out>) at ../JavaScriptCore/runtime/ArrayPrototype.cpp:281 #5 0x00007fffd45d31b4 in ??
