> > Description
> > ===========
> > When loading pages with a specially prepared (or erroneous)
> > stylesheet,
> > mozilla and X windows (not restricted to XFree) exhibit any of two
> > undesireable behaviours. This seems to depend on the local system
> > configuration, especially to the presence of xfs, but bug
> > reports so far
> > are inconclusive.
> > In one scenario, X simply crashes, taking everything with it.
> > This will result
> > in the loss of unsaved work.
> > In scenario two, memory useage of the X server explodes until
> > the machine
> > reaches the thrashing point, at which point only a hard kill
> > (-9) of the
> > X server can save it, provided there are enough system
> > resources left to
> > issue the kill.
> >
> > Some systems see no crash, but random misbehaviour of X
> > components that often
> > require a shutdown of the X server to fix. See the follow ups
> > in bugzilla
> > for a full description of these various behaviours.
> >
> > The bug is triggered by a huge font setting done through CSS.
> > Depending on
> > the end user's system configuration, this will either trigger
> > an abort in
> > the XFree86 code ("Beziers this large not supported") or cause an
> > explosive use of memory. It is unknown how much memory could
> > get consumed,
> > but follow-ups to the mozilla bug verify that machines with 1 GB of
> > memory still reach the thrashing point.
