Sigh, I've never been able to reproduce this.  Despite several people
saying it's connected to Chrome Remote Desktop, we also have several
reports of it happening without that involved.

I'm currently testing a workaround (committed to trunk) that sets a
memory limit on the monitor process, as a quick and dirty hack to
alleviate the effects of this bug.  If anyone wants to test on their
machine, you can edit /etc/xdg/autostart/deja-dup-monitor.desktop to
change its Exec line to:

Exec=bash -c "ulimit -v 1000000; 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/deja-dup/deja-dup-monitor"
X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true

(change the x86_64-linux-gnu part as needed)

I'd welcome reports of success or failure with this.
