2011-05-17 17:37:42 penalvch description Binary package hint: openoffice.org This is in Feisty, in OpenOffice.org Writer, in a document with multiple manual page breaks with different styles on each page (that is, using a different background image / watermark on each page). As I type, memory use increases rapidly, eventually making the hard drive go nuts as all the swap space is used up. The end result is that I have to kill OpenOffice and hope I saved recently.
