I can reliably cause my F13 system to crash by browsing the web in
Chrome (from the Google repository).
The scenario is (1) start chrome and (2) start normal browsing behavior.
Pretty soon, I get DNS timeouts and the system load applet shows the
load average climbing. Today, I was able to kill chrome as load average
passed 18. Although the load average dropped, other applications were
left in various states and I was unable to reboot the system cleanly.
Is anyone else seeing this sort of behavior from Chrome?
I used to get wierd behaviour when I used Chrome (mostly infinite hangs
on cached web pages). It would go away if I completely removed the cache
directory. I changed to Chromium and it's been much more stable.
