How much memory does your system have? Changeset 14739 grew the Unicode collation tables in the exp/locale/collate package by a considerable amount. The compiler's memory usage now goes above 400 MB when building that package, almost 2.5x the amount used to compile the second heavyweight and 15x the average. Anthony
