I think this is related to the sheer size of that gif. It is 9.3 megabytes and results in an nsgtk that uses 47 megabytes of memory to display it. However I see no problems or crashes in playback.

I think your platform may have issues with the animation if memory is getting tight?

I thought so too. I've just tried to reproduce it and I can get the animation to display, but after a few seconds everything freezes up again. So it is likely to be related to the playing of the anim. Maybe not freeing frames as it plays?

Again, there's a >10MB animated GIF present.
