From malloc() most probably.
Check the value of MAXDSIZ in your kernel config, or use limits -d to find out
that the default maximum data size for any process is 512Megs.
Sure enough, limits -d says 512M. The core dump was 480M so maybe it blew up on attempt to allocate a bunch more.
Didn't find any mention of these limits mentioned in
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ but
"find /usr/src/sys -type f -exec grep -l MAXDSIZ "{}" \;" turned up
/usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES which had more stuff that I had not seen including examples of how to set the default and the absolute max.
So have launched a build with limits set to 1GB and will see how that fares.
Thanks!
