[Bug 710582] Re: webkit crashes on amd64 architecture with SIGSEGV in WTF::OSAllocator::reserveAndCommit() was: webkit does not implement "assert" sanely

[Martin Pitt]

For the record, here this reproduces perfectly well with

  kvm -m 768 -cdrom ./natty-desktop-amd64.iso -boot d

then starting the live system, and then running

  /usr/lib/webkitgtk-1.0-0/libexec/GtkLauncher

it hangs a while during apport collection, and then crashes.

GtkLauncher runs fine on my workstation, but that has 4 GB of memory.
The upstream bug indicates that this only crashes with less memory.

We might apply the overcommit_memory workaround in casper for the time
being, if we can't find a real solution for this?
