Ah sorry, I missed the attachment.

Fabrice, fair enough that it's not the OOM killer itself, shouldn't we
sandbox 3rd party apps away from the main b2g process?   Killing b2g and
reseting the phone seems bad to me because of a 3rd party app.

I can't seem to find the bug that I was specifically thinking of, having
said that there's been a number of bugs specific to large images:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726145
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1153062
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001069
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1167357
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1153062

More over, FXOS specifically has issues:

With aries devices it's less noticeable since we're on a higher end
processor...
