I just started my regular Monday morning bootstrap of the GCC mainline
on my desktop box (4-way parellel build, with 1 GB of main memory, in
i386-unknown-freebsd4.6) and suddenly had my user interface lock up:
PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU CPU
COMMAND
17304 pfeifer 64 0 1078M 5380K RUN 1 4:19 46.83% 46.83% cc1
17642 pfeifer 64 0 645M 5392K RUN 0 2:30 43.46% 43.46% cc1
17829 pfeifer 64 0 25184K 23360K CPU1 1 0:32 42.34% 41.06% cc1
17554 pfeifer 64 0 659M 5440K RUN 0 2:35 39.89% 39.89% cc1
^^^^^^
A couple of minutes later, only two cc1s are running, for sched-vis.c and
localcharset.c, each of them consuming more than 1200MB.
Yes, that's MB -- something has been seriously broken!
