These occur when the (prototype) Emacs is byte-compiling the mass of Emacs lisp files. However, if I just type 'make', the build continues. My system is Debian-Sarge GNU/Linux. My first suspicion was that my swap partition was too small. So I terminated all competing applications, but that didn't prevent the problem. So I suspect there is a store leak somewhere. Would somebody please suggest some appropriate tool(s) for me to look at this with. A graphic X-Window program continuously displaying allocated/free store is the sort of thing I'm thinking of.
