Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnash
Ubuntu 7.10. gnash 0.8.1-0ubuntu3. firefox 1nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.10. Visit http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/world/europe/7335351.stm in firefox. Page displays fine. Edit URL, replacing "/low/" with "/hi/". New page starts to load. The flash movie at the top of it starts to have gnash display its circle of "busy" dots. Machine then slows. Furious disc activity follows. Then firefox (and gnash) die. Switching to a text console running free(1) in a loop before the URL is loaded shows the Mem/free figure shrink to 7200 at which point console messages from the kernel OOM killer appear and it decides to kill off firefox and gnash. That restores the machine. ** Affects: gnash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gnash-gtk Consumes Memory until Kernel OOM Killer Steps In https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214537 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
