Description Sven Arvidsson 2007-03-01 21:01:31 UTC 
When EOG opens or Nautilus thumbnails large animated GIF files, for example screencasts created in Byzanz, very large amounts of memory is used, sometimes the OOM-killer kicks in. 

Example GIF: http://people.freedesktop.org/~company/byzanz/demo.gif

Possibly related to bug 142428, where some TIFF images eats RAM.
