Hi all, I need those changes (and more in the pipeline) in order to build a NixOS with a non-standard store directory. I successfully built a system against this these revisions on a system with far less than 30 GB in ram+swap, so I don't know that the problem was in my changes as such as opposed to a strange interaction with Peter's system. Would anyone mind me reverting this reversion so others can test rebuilding to see if this issue persists?
