Firefox was not running (it died). When X server had 1.5GB of memory, firefox/iceweasel was not running. Perhaps you should ignore this report until it happens again and I have more details using xrestop. Apart from that, I believe that 1.5GB for X server a serious problem when caused by firefox when visiting google maps. Just go to google maps and watch the X server memory increasing by each move you do. It takes just a few minutes to exhaust system memory. Should I fill this bug report against firefox/iceweasel instead ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
