Hi Sanjeet, I can confirm that the memory is most likely the problem. Especially WebKit/WebCore is growing steadily, whenever code is being added. And with WebCore we (Qt) had the problem on mac of crossing the 4GB boundary just a few days ago. So it is very likely that other ports will experience similar problems. In our case we had to make use of some of the *AllInOne files. Because we are building WebCore as a static library. And on mac you currently can't build static libs >4GB at all it seems. Ranlib always crashes when trying to build the symbol table. This even affects 64bit systems with 12GB of ram. :-|
