You should be able to fix it by clicking 'Edit description' in the  
top left.  (This is not obvious; I have a bug open on Malone about it.)

Thanks for the report.  There are too many assumptions in the code at  
the moment that it is possible to hold a whole revision in memory at  
one time.  We should add development guidelines about what  
assumptions on size are and aren't reasonable.  (I
think it's reasonable for example that any single file text should  
fit, for example.)
