I'm sorry about this. Laurent Guerby has already killed it, which was the right
thing to do.

I'd forgotten that this was still running (I was waiting for it, hoping that
it would finish), but I wasn't aware that it was chewing RAM, particularly to
the point that it was making the machine unusable for everyone.

I'll be more careful in the future. In particular, I'll figure out how to
ulimit them so that it kills them before they grow excessively large.
