Re: help wanted diagnosing out-of-memory error

[Norman Ramsey <nr@...>]

I did some further diagnosis and it looks as if I was really starting
to bump up against address-space limits.  A table wanted to double in
size and could not.

For those interested I had several tables with 13M entries each, with
string keys totalling about 330MB of data.  Apparently the overheads
were enough to consume about 3.3GB of RAM, which pushes up against
fundamental limits on a 32-bit machine.

It looks as if a custom data structure is in the offing.
