Quanta crashes on opening after eating all memory

[Michael D Green]

Hi!

I have Quanta 3.1 (using KDE 3.1.1) installed on two machines, a Toshiba 
Satellite 1135-S155 notebook and a CPUBuilders CBS112L desktop. Both have in 
excess of 0.5 GB RAM. The disto I am using on both machines is SuSE 8.2. And 
the Quanta version is the version from that distro, updated only by any 
updates supplied by SuSE as part of their automated updating system.

Quanta seems to work fine on the Toshiba. But when I try to open it on the 
CPUBuilders machine it presents a window which is essentially the outer frame 
only and appears to be infinitely long. (I.e., it goes off the bottom of the 
screen. And any effort to shorten it fails.) Then after an interval it 
crashes completely. The system monitor shows that during this process it 
first eats up all RAM, then tries to eat up all swap before finally crashing. 
[I suspect it is being killed by some system watchdog. Good dog! ;-) ]

Ideas?

TIA!

Mike Green
