It may be also running into a hard time limit imposed on

as the PG's get larger.
Try compiling with successive PG's (just P5, then P5 and P7,
etc) to see where it fails. That will let you know the code is
working correctly, and that the compiler is choking either/and
because of a hard time limit and/or memory limit. That's why I
put in a compiler output statement in 'genPGparameters' to see
the progression of the PG parameters being built by the
compiler to initially find when the compiler started choking.
You may also need to patch whatever facility in the D compiler
chain that controls this too.
It's P17, the biggest one that takes the longest to build in
the Nim version. I actually don't know what memory limits exist
for the D compiler at compile-time, so I may need to do some
homework.
It's not just DMD either.
