BTW: The first build tried to use up to 7200 MB of memory and the second build tried to build up to 13900 MB of memory. I know this because I had a cron job monitoring /proc/meminfo. So, assuming this is the same problem which happens in maxima, your theory that the reason for this is that garbage collection is not working properly seems to be consistent with observed data. Thanks.
