Comment(by GeorgSWeber):
Calling "make ptestlong" (as suggested in ticket #7079), we already call
"sage-starts", as this is a part of the TESTPRELIMS in the makefile.
So the test case(s) for this ticket seems to be for directly calling "sage
-tp .." from the commandline.
I don't understand the intention of the attached patch, however. If I
delete the file "./sage/init.sage" and then call "sage -tp ...", the file
would have been created anew before the patch, but *not* after the patch.
Even if I delete the whole ".sage" directory, this file will not be
recreated (after the patch).
Is it possible that the creation of "init.sage" (which should exist at
least as an empty file IIRC) somehow originally did cause the problems?
Another thought: Might the presence (or not ...) of these infamous
".DS_Store" files (Mac OS X only, there's an open ticket to remove them
IIRC) break the parallel building, causing somehow these "mysterious
memory failures"?
