Sorry for that... When I try to build arc-theme and leave it to run, the entire system eventually freezes. When I monitor how much memory it takes, I see that it spawns a sassc process that eventually takes all 30 GB of the RAM not taken by GNOME and the other services. When I sent the initial bug report, I found an upstream github issue that this could be related to, but I lost it. What should be done? If someone tries to build arc-theme or other packages that use sassc without a timeout, their system will probably crash from memory usage. -Jesse
