In Chromium there are at least two different rendering implementations for *nix.
The first one is used for Linux and the other one for OSX, our port
goes with the OSX one.

In 14 I switched to the Linux implementation, which is way cleaner,
but many users reported that they had problems. The “fix” was to go
back to the OSX implementation again for 15.

I understand that you may see similar behavior but I believe that it
is unrelated to this specific PR.

My wild guess is that you run out of some kind of resource, "out of
swap space” doesn’t sound good. Is it possible that you run OOM?
