Just did a load-all test-all with 0.94, and that crashes, too.  I know that
I've run those tests before without running out of memory, so I suspect it's
either an OS update issue (who knows?) or how my setup is interacting with my
new hardware (inherited some 64-bit hardware, still using my old 32-bit Debian
install because I've been lazy about ditching it/upgrading/what-have-you).
Don't know if that would make sense, per se, but hell, it's not the first
problem I've had with my current OS setup.  If no one can reproduce, it's
probably some combination of things on my end...

I'll be trying the unit tests out again once I get Arch configured on another
hard drive on this machine.

Thanks for the feedback everyone,
--Alex Vondrak

Subject: Re: [Factor-talk] Out of memory error

If this is happening of 0.95 release than I wonder if we have a slow leak 
rather than corruption - all of our builders produce consistent clean builds 
(load-all test-all) and have for awhile.

Perhaps we don't notice due to 16+ GB of RAM...?
