Package: tumbler Version: 0.1.30-1+b1 I use ristretto to view an image file in /tmp for a few seconds, then quit, and switch to another task. Suddenly, I notice the system is unresponsive--- Web pages no longer scroll, the mouse moves sluggishly, switching virtual desktops takes several seconds instead of instantly.
I check the process table. Nothing hogging the CPU. I switch to sort-by- memory, and see that a new "tumbler" process is at the top, using something around 6GB of RAM. I look in /proc/$PID/fd/, and see that it has open what appears to be an old ImageMagick temp file in /tmp. A little examination... $ file /tmp/magick-1507aN2NBN8aASXP1 /tmp/magick-1507aN2NBN8aASXP1: PNG image data, 91905 x 18168, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced ...pretty much spells out what was going on. This tumbler daemon needs to have reasonable safeguards so that it doesn't tank the system when it encounters an unreasonably-sized image file like the above. (FYI, this file is ~12MB, so it is not huge in terms of raw file size.) _______________________________________________ Pkg-xfce-devel mailing list Pkg-xfce-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-xfce-devel
