Hi Kevin,
sorry for the very late reply I just had a look.
The following is going on: being on 32bit system you get into bignums
end this allocates memory while is looping inside `elb-fibn'.
Unfortunatelly there's no opportunity of passing through maybe_gc to
trigger garbage collection because I've not implemented the equivalent
of what is the quitcounter in the byte interpreter.
I'll come-up with a patch to generate the equivalent code of the
quitcounter when compiling for speed < 3.
Thanks for the feedback
Andrea
PS FYI I think memory consumption during compilation (as compile time)
should be now considerably lowered (but I've still haven't measured it).
