Harry,

Maybe I should reply in this thread. I have used strace to trace
what's going on.

My analysis is that enblend suddenly goes from normal to
crazy. In crazy mode, it does nothing but allocate memory
until exhausted. On 32bit OSes it fails after allocating around
3G of adressing space, on my 64bit system it runs a few
milliseconds longer, and allocates more than 12Gb before
running out of something.....

enblend was started with no -m option, equivalent to -m 1024,
so it shouldn't allocate more than about 1Gb of memory. until
the error situation, this works fine, and it runs with whatever you
tell it to.

To me it looks as if someone wrote a loop to try again if the
malloc fails. And somehow this loop takes the valid return as
"semi-failed" and tries again, until it really fails.

Roger.
