gif file created by the gnome desktop recorder byzanz-applet 0.2.2

Description of problem:
When loading a large gif file created by the gnome desktop recorder byzanz-applet the image viewer gthumb or eye of gnome will suck up all the cpu and lock up the gnome desktop. I included the gif that locks my machine up and forces me to turn the computer off.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gthumb 2.12.3
Eye of GNOME 2.32.0
byzanz-applet 0.2.2
gnome-desktop-2.32.0-2.fc14.i686
kernel-2.6.35.13-92.fc14.i686

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. open up the included gif file in standard gnome image viewer
2. desktop will lock up
3.
  
Actual results:
image is loaded using %100 of CPU.

Expected results:
image is loaded without using %100 of CPU.

Additional info: Why can't we have a pre-emptive keybpard combination to load a process viewer so I can kill a destructive process? <cntrl-alt-del> ?

Animated GIF

The same problem with Fedora 14 x64 both in Gnome and Xfce environments.
There is serious memory consumption problems already with 1,2 Mb GIF (2 – 3 Gb of RAM for 1,5 Mb animated GIF).

These less then 2 Mb animated GIFs freezes system as preview images are generated by the file manager :(.

There are no problems for Internet Browsers to show the same animated GIF.

I found only one image viewer for big animated GIF – gifview (a lightweight animated-GIF viewer).

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 12:49:16 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
