Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
I was writing some lengthy text in the message composer.
I was not satisfied with what I wrote so I decided to move a portion of text
within the sentence.
I selected the middle part to paste and pressed the middle button in the row
above.
And then all hell broke loose.
The computer stopped responding and started thrashing.
I switched to text console 1 and logged in to see what was going on.
The kernel communicated to the console that it must kill Firefox because it
uses too much memory.
So it did.
Top showed evolution running, taking .5% to 2% CPU but 58% to 64% RAM, going up
and down within these limits.
I attached the debugger to it and dumped core.
I detached and evolution continued to happily clog my machine.
I logged out from the console and returned to the graphical display.
I told the window manager to kill Evolution because it was not responding.
Fortunately, the letter I was writing was rescued the next time I launched
Evolution.
Here my story ends.
