Comment 47 for bug 1302416

Sigh, I've never been able to reproduce this. Despite several people saying it's connected to Chrome Remote Desktop, we also have several reports of it happening without that involved.

I'm currently testing a workaround (committed to trunk) that sets a memory limit on the monitor process, as a quick and dirty hack to alleviate the effects of this bug. If anyone wants to test on their machine, you can edit /etc/xdg/autostart/deja-dup-monitor.desktop to change its Exec line to:

Exec=bash -c "ulimit -v 1000000; /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/deja-dup/deja-dup-monitor"
X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true

(change the x86_64-linux-gnu part as needed)

I'd welcome reports of success or failure with this.
