Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnash
Ubuntu 7.10. gnash 0.8.1-0ubuntu3. firefox 1nobinonly-
Visit http://
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.
