Jorge: Do you use the Intel x.org driver as well? It is notoriously and chronically buggy, despite(?) being written by Intel guys, and maybe that's it.

I just tried running from my older slackware-13.1 partition and there was no memory-eating! Same dillo, same fltk, but older kernel and libs. (It still wraps my original example onto four lines instead of looking nice, but I believe I did see something one day in fltk's wrapping that breaks at ~1k bytes or glyphs or something.)

Here, 733 has altTextWidht=8063 // works OK 734 has altTextWidht=8074 // crashes -- Cheers Jorge.-

Maybe it has to do with MAXBUF in fl_draw.cxx?

With 733, I scroll back and forth, and mem used in the Mem line in top goes up, up, up, while nothing out of the ordinary happens to dillo or X, and the paging begins, and it takes a minute or so to notice the ctrl-Q. A MSG() in drawSimpleWrappedText() says "width 5864 height 17", which adds to the evidence that it may not be a 16-bit overflow. 733 vs 734 makes no difference for me.

To discard an utf8 kill-sequence, I changed the testcase into a 1106 'a' character repetition (attached). After applying the attached debug-patch, it crashes consistently [1] with max_c=734 but not with max_c=733. I see the expected memory usage with max_c=733 . Is this also true in your machine? *puzzled* [1] Before and after rebooting the machine. -- Cheers Jorge.-

With this little data I tend to think there's a bug in Dillo. Maybe a huge allocation request... -- Cheers Jorge.-
