[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#604954: [chromium-browser] Chromium Browser Eats All Memory, Freezes on Some SItes

[David Baron]

Package: chromium-browser
Version: 7.0.544.0~r61416-1
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Intermittently, the browser will eat up all available memory and paralyze the 
system. One can kill it from a non-X console session or it will eventually 
kill from its own [X] or that of the offending tab.

Site most often problematic: www.israelnationalnews.com
