Comment(by j...@…):
I'm now able to build trunk (after updating to latest).
I've been digging around for this issue, and issue #578.
The problem persists on the lastest trunk and is, as far as i can tell,
caused by the system running out of memory.
With all the buffering going on in io.c (is that even needed on a UNIX
system, where the kernel normally uses every bit of unused memory for
caching ?),
reading a 600 mb file in chunks will require around 1200 mb before it
finishes, first being cached in io.c, and then a NSString representing
every chunk.
It seems this "bug" is not really a bug, but more a design issue, or at
least closer related to issue #578.
You can close this one.
