startx freezes my system (Out of memory) if the ~/.fluxbox/keys has that lines: OnWindow Mod1 Mouse3 :MacroCmd {Raise} {Focus} {StartResizing NearestCorner} but had no problem if I edit ~/.fluxbox/keys and leave it in only one line: OnWindow Mod1 Mouse3 :MacroCmd {Raise} {Focus} {StartResizing NearestCorner} It looks as a file parsing error.

Why do you think it is a file parsing error? In your messages log, I see your machine is out of memory. Could you please also post the ~/.fluxbox/keys which you think causes the problem? You can also change your ~/.fluxbox/startup to start fluxbox with the '-log' option to capture the fluxbox log, which would be very valuable here as well. See the last line of that file for an example of how to do this.
(In reply to comment #2) I think it because when I change the mentioned line, it works

(In reply to comment #4) > Created an attachment (id=186021) [edit] > ~/.fluxbox/keys I hope this is just a paste error, but the line in question is actually split across 2 lines in the file you posted. What happens if you remove the linebreak between 'StartResizing' and 'NearestCorner' and just leave the rest of the file alone?
(In reply to comment #6) If you read my first post, I'm telling exactly the same. But it's an error parsing the config file. There must be no difference between putting it with or without new line and yet there's a difference. Excuse me but my english is a crap.
(In reply to comment #7) > There must be no difference between putting it with or > without new line and yet there's a difference. I disagree there "must be no difference". The fluxbox keys file does not allow you to split commands across multiple lines, that's just the way it is. However, I do agree that a broken key file should *not* cause fluxbox to crash or hang. I've just checked in a patch that will produce a "regular" error in this case, and will hopefully avoid this and other similar hangs. I have also submitted the patch to upstream, so hopefully they will include this in the next release soon. Thanks very much for the bug report!
