Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 64913
Find&Replace of trigger file exhausts 2GB VM and crashes OO
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:26:07 UTC
This issue exhausts all memory, sucks up all VM, and then tries to connect to a parallel universe for more memory... er, it crashes OO. It does this on 2.0.2 stable, m158, and m164 under Win2KSP4 & WinXPSP2 so I'm pretty sure I'm not 'seeing things' :-) I do NOT think this is in any way related to issue 50510. I attached: * ODT file describing the issue (screenshots) & how to recreate * OO - trigger.odt which does the deed * a screen shot from the office machine (running 2.0.2 stable) showing the peak VM usage (also see graph). Cheers, Fil
Created attachment 36156 [details] Screenshot along a crash & how to recreate
Created attachment 36157 [details] the trigger file - 3 columns, a bit over 80K characters
Created attachment 36158 [details] Shot of post-crash VM report
BTW, I did let OO send its own crash report before posting this. I clicked 'SUN can contact me'...
Reassigned to SBA.
confirmed on src680_m165 the application consumes a lot of memory and than after some minutes, 10 minutes in my case, crashes. cpu activity was arrount 5% on this time. reassigned to jw to find the proper developer for this. set default target
could not create a file by my own on which this happens, because of this i set the prio to p4 reassigned to os
I will try to make instructions to recreate trigger file. This problem may be related to the 64KB limit on any one line - the file is ONE long line!
In fact, I bet that this issue is related to the 64K paragraph limit. Here's what I found in a newsgroup: "Be careful with replacing $ by another token. Better yet, avoid doing that. Replacing the paragraph mark by something else implies that temporarily, you create a very long paragraph. Writer will happily and without warning truncate all paragaph text that exceeds 64 K. Yes, there is a 64 K paragraph limit in Writer. This issue is known to the developpers." I know that m167 will NOT let me create a paragraph bigger than 64KB so this might be related to this. I did NOT know this when I wrote that file!
The 64KB per paragraph limit is issue 23897.
Drat. Make that issue 17171 (the other one is a closed duplicate). I will make you directions for making a trigger file in any case. Give me a day or two. Thanks.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
