I'm running kde desktop on FreeBSD 11.2 on a system with 16GB RAM and 8GB swap. Normally I don't use any swap space but after a huge pkg upgrade three days ago I've suffered a problem with the entire swap partition filling up and the system freezing on about 4 occasions.
I suspect that this might be due to a bug in plasma5-plasma-workspace which was upgraded from version 5.14.5.1 to 5.15.0 because it now appears to require 128GB virtual memory

The corresponding value for SIZE before the upgrade was 293M.
The problem is only sporadic, I can run for several hours with no swap being used (as in the above output from top) and then it suddenly fills up.
