I thought I'd try and compile Self. Why, when I can add things via dynamic linking? I'm not sure :-) g++ version 2.3.3 runs out of memory at line 2346 of op.h while compiling op.c. I tried another machine with 45Mb of swap allocated (with at least 28Mb free I think), and got the same thing. Could it be 2.3.3 bugs?

It's not a g++ bug, it's a feature :-) We have also noticed that g++ consumes very generous amounts of memory (> 25 MB on big files). Dropping the -g flag sometimes helps.

Well I guess that's "progress" :-(
