but, I just tried to attach a 500 MB PDF to any message, and Trojita chewed
up 100% of one of the cores for a few seconds before crashing.
Unfortunately, I'm running a virtual machine which is occupying a lot of
RAM, so apport told me there wasn't enough memory to produce a crash report :(
That's actually fishy enough (500MB or KB) - could have been OOM and the
subsequent non-crash because of less resources taken by the fresh trojita
process (cached messages, memory allocation fraction ...)
Do you have a swap partition as "warning" when about to run OOM?
There is a swap partition, but no evidence that it was being used. I have
the Ubuntu indicator-multiload running all the time, so I can see CPU and
memory levels. Just before the crash, CPU was high but memory usage was not
increasing dramatically. I've seen what it looks like when an app is
allocating memory out of control, and this was definitely not that.
I don't quite trust the apport error message. It may be one of those where
something failed and it displays a generic error message.
I'll see if I can get more info if it happens again. I doubt that it will,
though.
