]> Does anyone know what triggers ocaml to crash on an "out-of-memory" error? I'm currently using ocaml on cygwin, and I find that my program often crashes after the memory size reaches about ~200 megs. This happened on a machine with a gig of ram and that didn't have all that much else running. Another thing I've noticed is that ocaml doesn't seem to collect memory at the times I expect it to. In particular, after clearing all references to the big memory structures and running Gc.full_major and Gc.collect (in that order), the memory size (as measured by the Windows task manager) doesn't immediately go down. It's possible that I've neglected to clear my memory references, but I don't think that's it. Another odd and regrettable thing I've noticed about ocaml-on-cygwin is that when it crashes with a stack error, on cygwin it does so silently--no error message at all. Anyone know if this is something that can be worked around? Thanks in advance, y -- |--------/ Yaron M.
