Wow, setroubleshoot ate ten gigs of virtual memory on a machine with 8gb of
physical ram.
Something is spewing SELinux denial errors, making setroubleshoot blow up.
That's what this looks to me.
You should have a honking button somewhere, imploring you to review all the
accumulated selinux alerts. You need to chase down what's tripping up
SELinux, and address that.
How I can do so?
Before I rebooted the machine after I clicked on troubleshooting alerts and a report had
been sent.
but it did not change the situation..
Depending, sometimes, I can recover the memory by closing firefox, but
other times I have to reboot.
