** Description changed:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
This is in Feisty, in OpenOffice.org Writer, in a document with multiple
manual page breaks with different styles on each page (that is, using a
different background image / watermark on each page). As I type, memory use
increases rapidly, eventually making the hard drive go nuts as all the swap
space is used up.
The end result is that I have to kill OpenOffice and hope I saved recently.
+
+ WORKAROUND: Use LibreOffice Writer.
