Nix #227 (26 Feb)
Nix should not allocate the whole store path into memory
In a 1.5GB of ram system, I could not get a precompiled 758MB store path because something in nix failed with "std:bad_alloc". Specifically:
100 758M 100 758M 0 0 270k 0 0:47:48 0:47:48 --:--:-- 306k terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std::bad_alloc download of `http://nixos.org/releases/nars/sha256_982dc51164f6c656fb530db2ed7d5f2336047482ecb118f53916f9f812500060' failed fetching path `/nix/store/8m3kvrzxqjjjqq07pdyyb8lrjvwc63ln-speed-dreams-2.0.0-a3-r3412' failed with exit code 255 error: some substitutes for the outputs of derivation `/nix/store/6f0m3m0yr43ns47nsz36fy98mi9hyqdr-speed-dreams-2.0.0-a3-r3412.drv' failed; try `--fallback'
