I'm well aware of all of that. What baffles me is how it's running out of memory on my box and not the autotester. I wouldn't have thought that it would matter what box you were on. But maybe memory fragmentation or something changes things. And of course, there's always the mystery of why on earth dmd runs out of memory at around 900MB even when there's lots more memory on the box. It's been like that for a long time (I've seen it for other running out of memory build problems), but I have no idea why that would happen. I'm not aware of any significance to 900MB (unlike, say 3.6 GB, when the 32-bit address space hits its limit). - Jonathan M Davis _______________________________________________ phobos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/phobos
