I have a P60 with 32MB RAM happily running as an LTSP client. Today, someone called me over when the LTSP client kept crashing X every time he went to a particular web site. The offending site is http://www.chinatimes.com. For some reason when Firebird is pointed to this site, X uses up all the physical memory in a hurry and then, of course, crashes - I'm using no swap on this machine. Could this be a font issue? Firebird displays the site nicely until X dies. I'm also using XFS. For comparison, just to get a brief idea about how X would handle many windows I launched Firebird with 6 active tabs, OO Writer, OO Calc, OO Impress, Gaim, Gimp and another local terminal on tty3 and I still had 12MB of memory left. Does anyone know why this might be happening or have any ideas?
