I got these crashes immediately after upgrading via Red Carpet, and
they stopped after rebooting the system.
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2002-03-30 20:27:23 UTC 
Sorry this took so long to get to, Heath... hopefully I'll be cc'd on
all of these soon.

Comment 9 Alexander Larsson 2002-04-10 03:35:32 UTC 
Wow. Looks like a bad bug in the scaler. It tries to allocate 1.8 Gigs
of memory when scaling the 1600x1200 pixbuf to 1x1. I think this is
because it is allocating a huge set of filter matrixes.

The question is, why is it trying to scale the background to 1x1 pixels?
Comment 10 Alexander Larsson 2002-04-10 03:39:07 UTC 
Hmmm. It must be trying to render the background before the window has
gotten it's size allocation.
Comment 11 Luis Villa 2002-04-14 21:31:27 UTC 
I'm going to bump this to Urgent because of the duplicates.

Comment 13 Jody Goldberg 2002-04-20 03:59:40 UTC 
This may have been fixed when I patched the heap corruption in libbackground this morning.
Comment 14 Alexander Larsson 2002-04-21 22:01:16 UTC 
This should be fixed by this checkin. I can't reproduce the bug
myself, so please reopen this if it breaks backgrounds in any way.

	* eel/eel-background.c (eel_background_ensure_image_scaled):
	Work around the fact that scaling large pixbufs to 1x1 crashes
	while allocating several gigs of memory.
