Description Anton Lindström 2018-08-06 11:32:58 PDT

After upgrading from webkit-gtk-2.18.6 to webkit-gtk-2.20.3 creating reports in GnuCash fails (it uses webkit-gtk for rendering) and this error is printed to the terminal:

FATAL: Primitive gigacage disabled, but we don't want that in this process

I managed to trace this to having
ulimit -v 9500000
set. With 
ulimit -v unlimited
all works as expected.

I think this is related to bug 183329 -- that's the one that gave me the clue that the problem was connected to the virtual memory limit.
(I have vm.overcommit_memory = 0 if that makes any difference)

At least I think the error message should be nicer even if it's "supposed to" fail.

Running Gentoo Linux on x86.

Kind regards,
Anton
