Processing the attached file causes g++ to consume about 1.4G of virtual memory on x86_64. The same file caused problems on x86 in an earlier release - see bug #15320. Also, on my project's mailing list I have seen the implication that similar issues exist on powerpc: http://www.cliftonlabs.com/savant/list-archives/savant-users/2004-December/000013.html
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help sort this out.
