Chrome crashes after viewing many clips in one clip album.

[HaroldMills]

If a user views a clip album containing thousands of clips in Chrome, and visits many pages (containing thousands of clips) of that album, Chrome may crash with an "Aw, snap!" message. I encountered this problem last year, and implemented the clip manager in part to deal with it. The problem seemed to be that the browser ran out of memory after visiting a few thousand clips, and the clip manager is supposed to allow the memory allocated for old clips to be recovered by eliminating references to them. Debbie and Carrie have encountered the "Aw, snap!" message recently in large clip albums, however, so we need to revisit the issue.

Debbie reports that a workaround is to reopen the same clip album after a crash and navigate quickly (using the rug plot, perhaps) to the page that was displayed when the crash occurred, from which point one can continue working.
