My example doesn't reproduce it, but this does: git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch git clone --branch vmem-wip https://github.com/xloem/mimalloc cd mimalloc cmake . make LD_PRELOAD=$(pwd)/libmimalloc.so VMEM_PREFIX=vmem cmake ../pytorch
cmake on the pytorch folder sends out the SIGKILLs. just a vanilla 'cmake' does not.
