There is no kernel.shmmax line in my /etc/sysctl.conf file, is it safe
to add one? under 14.10 ubuntu

Title:
  Crash when opening image files larger than 5M (>5M)

Status in “cairo” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is similar to the bug reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=710701

  However, the crash that is now getting generated is from an entirely
  different call and file.  Specifically, the error is:

  eog: /build/buildd/cairo-1.12.16/src/cairo-xlib-surface-shm.c:619: _cairo_xlib_shm_pool_create: Assertion `*ptr != ((void *)0)' failed.
  Aborted (core dumped)

  In the message above, I was using eog, but this affects other apps,
  like gThumb as well.

  In terms of the environment, I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 on an 64-bit
  machine, and am using libcairo2-1.12.16.
