Package: npm
Version: 1.4.21+ds-2
Severity: normal
When running npm search it appeared to run out of memory while building
its index. I was monitoring it in top and the memory usage seemed to be
fairly stable at 23.x% (of 8GB) rather than steadily climbing. Perhaps
node is imposing a limit to keep overall use below 2GB?
Output:
$ npm search minimatch
npm WARN Building the local index for the first time, please be patient
