 8.2-759, Q2E15.

 Ran Browse, typed "www.archive.org", clicked "Moving Images", clicked top
 video (NASA Lecture Series: Stephen Hawking: Why We Should Go Into Space).
 Clicked on "Click to Play Video" image.  A flash box came up; clicked on
 it to play.  The video never did play, but the mouse got very laggy and
 eventually the whole machine stopped responding.  Did not respond within
 5-10 minutes to various attempts like pressing the Home key or doing ctrl-
 alt-backspace.  Eventually I crashed the system with the power button and
 rebooted it.

 It looked like some kind of deadlock, probably based on memory
 consumption; are we sure the OOM-killer is really working in our current
 kernels?
