Message-ID: <20050630183559.GK5269@systemhalted.org> (raw)
pa,
Assemble this using a binutils without Alan Modra's pa_block patch:
---
.data
foo:
.block
bar:
.block 0x3fffffff
com:
---
And I get this:

The story goes that binutils attempts to allocate a monstrous amount of
memory for that block. Newer binutils complain, Alan added some magic
checks.
The question I have is:
a. Why does the box die? Is this OOM looking for memory?
b. Why doesn't the process just die?
c.
