Public bug reported:
What happens:
EOG takes up memory for every individual picture that is displayed and
doesn't free it up again until closed. With high resolution images, this
can easily lead to OOM killer being invoked.
How to reproduce:
1) have a directory with many images, preferably large file size
2) open one with EOG and keep scrolling through them with the arrow keys
