[darcs-devel] [issue201] Out of memory (big file in working directory)

[Juraj Hercek]

New submission from Juraj Hercek <darcs_bugs at hck.sk>:

Hello,

I'm seeing this bug from past versions till now, so I decided to report 
it. Here is the way how to trigger the bug:

<cut>
$ darcs --version
1.0.7 (release)
$ mkdir bug_test
$ cd bug_test
$ darcs init
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=./big_file bs=1M count=2048
2048+0 records in
2048+0 records out
$ darcs wh -ls
darcs: out of memory (requested 2148532224 bytes)
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep "Mem\|Swap"
MemTotal:      2074524 kB
MemFree:        869652 kB
SwapCached:          0 kB
SwapTotal:           0 kB
SwapFree:            0 kB
</cut>

I would expect this output:

$ darcs wh -ls
a ./big_file

Instead of this one:

darcs: out of memory (requested 2148532224 bytes)

If you need more information, feel free to contact me.

Kind regards,
Juraj Hercek
