Switching from Earth to Sky causes infinite memory leak loop, crashing computer
This does not seem to happen immediately, but when it does (on 4 separate
machines so far), the consequences are dire.
This is hopefully to support a NASA mission GLAST, to allow correlation of
simulated and detected features with a representation of the raw data (the
overlay). We are not compeletely sure that the overlay is at fault, but the
only other kml elements are simple placemarks: they can be found in the same
directory as the overlay.
Comments: [Toby] The way to trigger this seems to be to switch back to Earth
after loading the overlay in Sky mode. Then back to Sky and...
Relevant Application(s):
Google Earth 4.2.0198.2451 (beta) Windows XP, 2003, Vista
Steps to Reproduce:
Loading an overlay with simulated gamma-ray intensity
Supporting Files:
the overlay:
http://glast.phys.washington.edu/sc2/google-sky/sc2_photondensity_layer0.png
a kml file that overlays it:
http://glast.phys.washington.edu/sc2/google-sky/overlays.kml
Workarounds:
No: in fact it seems to infect the account, so even after reinstalling and/or
cleaning the cache, it is not possible to again use Sky mode (Bug in
uninstaller)
