The trigger in this case was firefox loading https://code.launchpad.net/~ahasenack/qa-regression-testing/+git/qa- regression-testing/+merge/381582 Recent calls to journalctl > /tmp/foo had lead to a minute-long hang (though the mouse did make ~10ms motion every six or seven seconds), swap growth from 1MB to 62M, but no stacktraces.
