Re: [xmonad] Issue 448 in xmonad: Applications crash with message 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)' in specific workspace

Comment #2 on issue 448 by damian.o...@gmail.com: Applications crash with message 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)' in specific workspace http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=448 I found out the error. I used a 0.5 increment ratio: normal = (Tall 1 (50/100) (1/2)) Instead of 3/100. If I change my config file replacing the above line to normal = (Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2)) then the crash does not occur. Now my question is, can this be prevented, even if a silly user like me enters these values in the configuration?
