[Bug 620789] [NEW] kwrite crashes when trying to open a 2.8 GB text file

[rusivi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

1) lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release:	10.04

2) apt-cache policy kwrite
kwrite:
  Installed: 4:4.4.2-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 4:4.4.2-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 4:4.4.2-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What I expected to happen is that when i try to open a 2.8 GB text
file, it opens with no problems.

4) What happens instead is that when I attempt to open the 2.8 GB text
file with kwrite, my Memory in System Monitor spikes to 95.6%, and my
Swap gradually increase until both dramatically decrease, indicating the
program crashed. I 12 GB of Swap available.
