I think it is a problem in the way that Sage uses PARI. I just tried "sage -sh" with sage-7.3, then ran gp from the command line, and it uses very little memory. Please continue to send "hate mail"... We should revert whatever trac ticket did this, or at least make it an option to not allocate such a large address space. This huge vm allocation is clearly an even worse hack dealing with PARI's very hackish "memory management". Even back in 2005 when I was writing the original libpari hackish code, I didn't seriously consider this "allocate huge vm" hack to deal with how pari works, since that was even too hackish for me. Making it the default is surprising. -- William (http://wstein.org) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
