Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.18.1-2
Severity: important
Hi,
When saving a page to disk with epiphany, the browser hangs and starts
writing a huge file filled with      .
I can save the same page with iceweasel without problem.
This is reproducible easily (nearly 100%) with big pages (an example is
http://lwn.net/Articles/231896/bigpage ).
The beginning of the output file is normal, but then something breaks.
With the URL above:
Church of the Subgenius, with its slogan           [....]
This also happens with version 2.14.3-6.
While discussing how cool epiphany is with a friend, he mentionned this
bug, so it's clearly not a problem with my laptop (bad memory, etc).
Killing epiphany with -9 allows to restore the situation. However, if
the user waits to long before killing epiphany, epiphany's memory usage
grows and kills your system.
Lucas.
