I cannot stress enough the seriousness of this bug. An application
that gets killed by a library without any way to recover is not
something to be taken lightly. In a certain sense I got lucky that
my app is so heavy on graphics, so I was able to find a solution
rather quickly (as did Jonas btw).
I suspect most people just see (seemingly) random crashes, shrug
and restart whatever they were running and then blame the
application programmer for writing shitty software. I find that
hard to accept...
I totally agree with this! I fact, in the beginning I was blaming my own
application software for this. It took me quite a while and lots of
effort to realize it's down there deep in the libraries of the os. And
being able to reproduce the bug in only 20 hours or so, does not help a
lot. Even though, due to heavy graphics, this was already kind of "fast".
