#174197 — Cannot login with root after upgrading from jessie to testing

Hi,

recently I upgraded my KVM based vserver from jessie to testing. The update 
went smooth and everything seemed to work. But when I tried to su to root or 
ssh with user root I get the error

-bash: xmalloc: cannot allocate 800000008 bytes (1474560 bytes allocated)

With my non root user there is no issue.

Is there anyone out there who experienced a similar issue or knows how to 
track down the error?

Thanks/regards,

mls

I don't have a solution, but the problem is known[1].

Cheers,
