Description
Running luakit as a kiosk browser in weston. It launches and runs and displays my localhost php pages. I let it run for a few days then it quits and I get this in the log. If I restart it, it runs for a few days than does the same thing. I do not have a swap file (RPi 3B+) and when luakit is running, I do not seem to have a problem with memory.
```
# free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 729 242 186 16 301 456
Swap: 0 0 0

Start with the linked crash log and reproduce the long-running kiosk setup on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ running Weston, without swap, while displaying localhost PHP pages. Done means determining whether the memory-pressure crash is caused by luakit and documenting an actionable cause or reproduction details.
