Chrome Tab Crash possibly due to memory allocation failure due to address space leak

Project Member Reported by djkurtz@chromium.org, Feb 7 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 55.0.2883.103
Chrome OS Version: 8872.73.0
Chrome OS Platform: elm

Steps To Reproduce:
Unknown.  
Issue from Feedback report: https://feedback.corp.google.com/product/208/neutron?lView=rd&lReport=52724907414

Expected Result:
Memory allocations succeed.  Tabs don't Crash.

Actual Result:
Tab crashed, UI log contains many messages like this (with various sizes):
[1:6:0204/200651:FATAL:memory.cc(22)] Out of memory. size=4194304

There is no indication what is running out of memory, or why.
There are no associated crash reports, nor backtraces in the feedback log.

How frequently does this problem reproduce? (Always, sometimes, hard to
reproduce?)

Unknown.

What is the impact to the user, and is there a workaround? If so, what is
it?

Tab crash.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screen shot or
log if possible.

There are plenty of physical memory available, but the virtual memory size of the browser process is approaching 4GB, so no more memory can be mapped:

So I think there is some address space leak.

Are these browser leaks? If so these should be fixed. These are real leaks, not just virtual address space leaks, but the memory gets swapped out so the RES size doesn't grow too far. In any case I would say update to 56 and this should be gone.
Status: WontFix (was: Available)
WontFix per #3.  Will re-open if we see this on R56.
