Changes (by dsd):

  * next_action:  test in build => approve for release


Comment:

 Tested, works fine (Browse crashes like it does in 8.1, but at least it
 does not kill X)

 Please approve xorg-x11-server-1.4.99.906-2.olpc3.3 for 8.2

 Changelog:
  * Fix an X server crash when it cannot satisfy a large memory allocation
 request

 |TestCase|

 Open http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hardware_specification in browse, confirm
 that X does not crash (note that Browse may be unresponsive for a while,
 this is not a regression)
