What steps will reproduce the problem?


On an ARM embedded system (mine's an ODroid U3 running Xubuntu Linux 15.10)...

0) Enter Incognito mode. (Not tested in non-incognito but it likely has the same behaviour.)

1) download a large file (>100MB) using Chromium. Note: i have only tried this with HTTPS connections. It might not be reproducible on HTTP (non-S) connections.

2) The download indicator pops up along the bottom of the page.

3) Watch the CPU temperature slowly rise (a degree C every 3-5 seconds or so) until it gets too hot for comfort. (Tip: install a CPU monitor applet in your desktop system of choice beforehand!)

4) Close the d/l indicator.

5) watch the temperature gauge quickly sink.

Curiously, the "all downloads" page does not do this.

What is the expected result?

  Not what it does.


What happens instead?

  Keeps heating up until either i close the d/l indicator or the system overheats and shuts itself down.


i have witnessed/tested this 4 or 5 times, 100% reproducible on my system.
