------- Comment #2 from laurent at guerby dot net 2006-02-18 11:15 ------- Jeff mentionned "ping pong" between passes, I believe it's an infinite ping-pong loop between two things with memory usage increasing linearly (either leak or data structures) until the system kills the process. gdb traces do not show backtrace grow. My amd64 machine with 2GB RAM and 6GB swap failed on it too.
