Hello!
OK, opening the console I also see the message "fatal_error: Out of memory in VirtualAlloc".
I did it this way: `6 [ 25 2^ 0 <array> ] times`
Now I have some further questions.
When I do `5 [ 25 2^ 0 <array> ] times` I see the factor.com process eating up ~930 Mb of memory.
Why is it that after restarting and doing `5 [ 25 2^ 0 <array> ] times clear gc` it still remains with ~930 Mb of memory?
Why didn't `gc` release the unused and unreferenced memory back to the system?
More importantly, if I do `25 2^ 0 <array>` once more, it crashes, i.e. the allocated memory remains unavailable, even though it should have been collected by the GC.
Is there a more aggressive version of the `gc` command?
The `clear` command makes sure the empty allocated arrays don't show up in (and get referenced by) the UI. Or am I missing something.
The question is quite practical for me, as when I work with big data sets I also see that GC keeps hogging the memory I don't use anymore, which leads to crashes in the long (and even not so long) run.

That's because you are running a 32 bit factor. Try allocating many arrays, at some point your OS should return an error to factor at https://github.com/factor/factor/blob/master/vm/os-windows.cpp#L97
Also what you are seeing is expected, the array size is limited to most-positive-fixnum/2, which is not a problem on 64bits (2^58-1 ~ 10^17 ) but is kind of limiting on 32 bits (2^26-1 = 67 million ~= 10^8). There was discussions about this but I can't find it anymore...,JonOn Thu, Nov 24, 2016 at 4:45 PM, Alexander Ilin <ajs...@yandex.ru> wrote:Hello!Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this in Win8.1 GUI listener:IN: scratchpad 50 2^ 0 <array>Cannot convert to fixnum: 1125899906842624IN: scratchpad 25 2^ 0 <array>(success)IN: scratchpad 26 2^ 0 <array>Invalid array size: 67108864Maximum: 6710886324.11.2016, 17:06, "Jon Harper" <jon.harpe...@gmail.com>:Hi,more precisely, the process is aborted (uses the vm 'fatal_error()' function):

It shouldn't crash exactly, but it does terminate the process with an
"Out of memory" error.
