Hi Armin, we thought we had solved it. Alas, there is something else. I said I tested it, and I did of course, but the result depends on what you are doing in which order. I tested a few smaller cases first, but this is a trap, see below.
On my 1.25 GB laptop, this one crashes: Python 2.4.1 (pypy 0.7.1 build 18236) on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. (InteractiveConsole) >>>> import sys >>>> for i in range(100): x=range(10**7); print i,;sys.stdout.flush() 0 1 2 3 4 <crash> But if I do a little play before, it works! Note that the 10**6 line does not suffice once. I need it twice to avoid the crash!
