Charles-François Natali added the comment: Thanks for the report.
The patch introducing mmap() to limit memory fragmentation was applied initially only to the Python 3 branch (3.2 at that time IIRC). This problem was spotted a couple days later, and fixed: http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/ba8f85e16dd9 I guess the backport to Python 2.7 didn't backport the subsequent fix. ---------- resolution: -> fixed stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21810> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
