With a standard SuSE 10.1 system: 1. Start Gnumeric 2. Enter =rept("x",1e6) *poof* X server dies and takes all programs with it. With the above recipe, Gnumeric will ask pango to draw a string that is a million characters long. This used to work in the sense of not crashing anything but, if memory serves, pango pango would wrap around.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
I tried to enter the formula =rept("x";1000000) in Gnumeric 1.8.1 and X Window System Version 1.3.0 (Gentoo package x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r5). It does not crash. It does show a lot of "x" in the cell though. I tried to add another 0 and it started swapping like crazy but still no server crash. It does not show any "x"-es any more and Gnumeric becomes very unresponsive (several seconds) when clicking in the cell with the formula or switching to it from another application.
worksforme on server-1.5-branch. closing.
