  krillin 14.09 #2 + all updates applied

  After running the system for a while (few minutes) the system runs out of memory and start killing processes.
  It is very visible with the webbrowser or webapps because it renders the page and displays a white page when oxide-render is killed. Although it is not specific to oxide, and any app are killed (address-book, system-settings, ...) You can clearly notice that other apps are being killed because when you switch to the app it's all blurry and take a while to reload, also it loses its state (for example, you lose the message you were writing in the messaging-app)

  There is no specific steps to reproduce. I have several scopes enabled
  (photos, nearby, news) You don't have to have tons of apps open to
  reproduce this. Launching the webbrowser or a webapps and navigating
  on the phone between the scopes and the open app seems enough for the
  system to start killing processes.
