Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vlc

Hi,
I was watching a .avi file:
Video AVI (video/x-msvideo)
698,9 MB (732827648 byte)

640 x 272
XVID MPEG-4
25 frames per second

MPEG 1 Audio, Layer 3 (MP3)
Stereo
48000 Hz
112 kbps

At some point (near 37 minute) PC starts swapping and became unusable.
Pinging from another PC works so I logged with ssh after waiting some
minutes for the login.

dmesg gives:
47257.575381] Out of memory: kill process 22982 (vlc) score 73603 or a child
[47257.575389] Killed process 22982 (vlc)

I came back to the PC and metacity seems gone (application windows
without title bar, no keyboard input in the already open terminal). I
run it from ssh (metacity --display=:0.0) and now I am here to make this
report.

I was logged in X with two users. Both with encryptfs and there was
rsync running for a big backup.
