Crash while viewing and scrolling through existing bug report.

Crash...

(reportbug:2841): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'reportbug' received an X
Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 212803 error_code 11 request_code 130 (MIT-SHM)
minor_code 5)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported
asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)
Trace/breakpoint trap

Hi,

the error is the X server refusing a shared memory (MIT-SHM) request for
lack of resources, raised inside GDK. As Nis wrote in 2020, it only
happened with a few specific bugs, but nobody could tell us which ones,
so there's nothing to reproduce it with. Closing.

If it happens again with a current version, please reopen and tell us
the number of the bug you were viewing.

Regards,
Sandro
