Title:
  compiz expanded to over 3GB of memory and became unresponsive

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I left a computer on for a night. In the morning I couldn't log in
  normally. I could open a virtual console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and slowly type
  in commands. The system was mostly idle but compiz had expanded to
  take over 3GB of my 4GB, causing swapping.

  I used ubuntu-bug to save a problem report file, but I'm not sure where to find it or how to attach it here.
