PyPy used to contain a bug that causes infinite memory usage in one particular circumstance (literally -- so in practice, infinite swapping with no progress). It so happens that since about one month, translating a PyPy may trigger it. This means that in order to translate a PyPy, you need to run (either CPython or) a version of PyPy that contains the fix, which was done November 11.
