Download this picture from wikipedia, it is about 266 MB:

In Nautilus, double-click on the resulting file.
The image viewer opens and a progress bar gives the loading percentage.
Wait for the progress bar to reach 100%

Actual result:
The application freezes.
After some seconds, the mouse cursor becomes laggy and freezes.
After more seconds, all Unity windows freeze.
None of the text-only console (ctrl+alt+F1) are accessible.
I had to switch off/switch on my computer.

Expected result:
The application is able to display the image, or at least freezes/crashes alone without taking the whole system with him.
