Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/6.829 Actual Results: Firefox output: The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 148577 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

WFM on Windows XP with Firefox trunk. Does just loading http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/6.829/6829-tas-email.png crash Firefox for you? How about just loading data:text/html,<img src="http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/6.829/6829-tas-email.png" height="15" width="150"> ?

(In reply to comment #1) > WFM on Windows XP with Firefox trunk. > > Does just loading > http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/6.829/6829-tas-email.png > crash Firefox for you? Yes, it does the same effect

By default gdk bails (calls exit()) when it can't allocate sufficient server-side memory. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 210931 ***
