Subject: Bug in kernel 2.4.19?
Date: 11 Sep 2002 20:17:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1031768280.998.5.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Hello:
I think I found a bug in kernel 2.4.19. I enclose all the information
you say in www.kernel.org
Bug in memory management in kernel 2.4.19
This kernel seems to have a problem when a huge amount of memory is
allocated by a program. In my case, I work with GIMP, with a picture of
5000 x 3500 pixels. When I try to move a 'big' selection (25% or more of
the surface of the picture), my linux system simply reboots. No kernel
panic, no hangs, no popups... simply reboots after accessing a lot to
the hard disk (for memory swapping, of course). There's no problem with
kernel 2.4.18 (I changed to it after discover this), so it seems to be a
new bug.
