Replying to [comment:6 kcrisman]:
> I had a similar experience (476MB) with this example, except I had to
use heap-size 0 (as suggested earlier) instead of what's above; if I use
the above it goes boom at the second try, in fact it does even if I add
another zero.
I bet you are on a 32 bit machine then, because
Log(100000000000)/Log(2)=36.54
According to
http://ecls.sourceforge.net/new-manual/re30.html
setting a limit to 0 should indeed mean "no limit". If that is our
intention then that would be more portable than 100000000000.
For safety, 2GB might not be an unreasonable limit, though. When people
are debugging they might want to enforce a lower limit to see the crash
sooner.
