Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-02-03 11:48:13 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2011-05-16 17:19:20 UTC
Without reproduction instructions, it would be very hard to fix this. The reported error here is a out-of-memory inside the X server, which could just be the result of the machine running out of memory, or could be a result of a client application creating a window that is very, very big (nearly as big as the X window size limits of 16,000 pixels).

Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2011-05-16 17:34:59 UTC
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request.  You may appeal
this decision by reopening this request.
