Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: long list creation Initial Comment: Hi Creation of long strings can completely hang the system. The cause for the hanging is described as follows. In the following simple macro string = "" for(i=0; i<N ; i++) string = string "\n" i each iteration eats memory since new string is created and old one is also kept in memory. When all memory is occupied a system completely hangs. When fast-access memory (non-swap) is fully occupied, work is strongly slowed-down, CPU usage drops to 1-10%. Memory is not freed when macro is completed, as a result, the system goes in a "somnambular state". X-server restarting does not help in this case. This bug is independent of NEdit's version.
