[issue27559] Crash On bytearray()

[pablo sacristan]

pablo sacristan added the comment:

I know, but then shouldn't you try limiting the amount of data it allocates? Or 
maybe allow for keyboard interrupts to be used while the it is going on, 
because keyboard interrupts weren't working while it was working.

[issue27559] Crash On bytearray()

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

bytearray(n) needs to allocate n bytes. Unless your computer has 1024 GiB of 
memory, this is not going to be possible. If you are using an OS like Linux, it 
may pretend to allocate that much memory, and then kill the process when it 
realizes it has overallocated. If you need more robust behaviour on Linux, I 
suggest looking into disabling memory overcommit.

[issue27559] Crash On bytearray()

[pablo sacristan]

New submission from pablo sacristan:

There is a crash on bytearray(), not really a crash but rather the process gets 
killed by the kernel, but that is a crash, and the keyboard interrupt stops 
working while bytearray is working, so you can either restart python or wait 
for python to get killed by the kernel. The biggest problem is that while 
bytearray() is trying to do something, you can't interrupt it just doesn't work 
for some reason.
This should be enough for bytearray to crash :
bytearray(0xFF)
It crashes after some time with a Killed: 9 error.

Hope it helps ;)
