Description Guilherme de Siqueira Pastore 2005-09-02 19:40:55 UTC 
Distribution/Version: any

eog creates threads as joinable, but doesn't join them later on, resulting in
absurd memory usage and even crashes. A simple way of reproducing this is
viewing a "lengthy" collection: you'll invariably stumble on this after some time:

GThread-ERROR **: file gthread-posix.c: line 351 (): error 'Cannot
allocate memory' during 'pthread_create'

This has been filed as Debian bug #288163 (http://bugs.debian.org/288163), and a
patch to create non-joinable threads has been applied, fixing the problem and
not causing any trouble.

Looks like a dupe of 312856 but this patch looks more comprehensive than the
first. Comments?
Comment 3 Olav Vitters 2005-09-02 21:33:29 UTC 
This actually seems to be a dupe of bug 165230.
Comment 4 Guilherme de Siqueira Pastore 2005-10-23 15:04:33 UTC
