Public bug reported: If I attempt to run OpenOffice, VLC, or K9copy (there may be others too, these are just the ones I've identified) the process rapidly consumes (>500mb in 1 minute) all available ram and renders the system unusable. If I turn swapoff the computer will recover after a time, having killed the offending process, and I can use the computer again. If swap is not turned off, even after 15 hours the computer is almost completely unresponsive even after 15 hours of disk thrashing.
Based on advice of johanbr on #ubuntu-ca I ran 'strace -p $k9copy_process_id 2>strace-k9copy.log'. The log is 22mb. I'll post the head and tail of 100 lines below. Johanbr said the process keeps re- reading the X keyboard settings over and over again and asked if I have an unusual keyboard configuration -- I don't believe so. System > Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard preferences says keyboard "Dell" with USA layout. It is actually an IBM model SK-8820, however that model is not available in the IBM section. There are two dell models with similar model numbers: SK-8125, SK-8135. >From System > Preferences > Keyboard I changed the keyboard to Generic 101 key >and applied system wide. K9copy still consumes all available ram, or I presume it would if I let it. I killed it from System Monitor after it used >900mb and still hadn't shown a splash screen or window.

I believe the first ubuntu release installed on this computer was 5.10 but it may have been 6.04. It's been upgraded in-situ ever since. I regularly check and apply updates (weekly or better). I did not experience any problems of this sort until upgrading to 8.10 (yes this has been going on for several months now). $ head -100 k9copy-strace.txt Process 13422 attached - interrupt to quit read(12, "mega> \t: \"\341\275\242\" U1F62 #
