Re: [tracecompass-dev] Java VM out of memory with TraceCompass reading generic CTF

Bug posted with trace attached:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=515045

It appears to be an issue even with all views closed (except the list of events).  The crash occurs by simply scrolling around the event list.

Yes, please post a bug with the trace (anonymized if needed)
