Description

Zotero just crashed after running out of memory.

Notes from IRC:

[14:08] <akosiaris> I think that's the first one zotero(3)(+0000000): HTTP POST noDoi=yesDoi&doi=10.2307%2F2458932 to http://www.jstor.org/action/downloadSingleCitationSec?userAction=export
[14:08] <akosiaris> &format=refman&direct=true&singleCitation=true
[14:08] <akosiaris> that got an out of memory error
[14:08] <akosiaris> well, maybe that one http://www.jstor.org/stable/2458932
[14:08] <akosiaris> not sure with zotero logging
[14:09] <akosiaris> seems like it was submitted multiple times
[14:09] <akosiaris> right before the out of memory error

Whatever caused this problem two years ago has likely been fixed now.

Nope. All that has happened is that the infrastructure has now some safeguards to protect itself from it in 2617d4f0a71 and subsequently 57cd2eb7076. The other thing that has happened is that zotero, being unmaintained, can not use jessie but rather requires trusty and as a result lives in it's own infrastructure, minimizing ill effects to other services due to memory leaks. So it's mitigated but definitely not fixed.
