Bug#272231: possible g++ memory leakage

[lorro@lorro.wigner.bme.hu]

Package: g++
Version: 3.3.4-2
Severity: important

When building the latest (0.16) mythtv with apt-build,
at file globalsettings.cpp g++ slowly eats up all the
memory the machine has (no matter how much), then dies
with inertal error (probably gets oomkilled).

Reproducing the error: (Debian unstable, as of 2004-09-18)
1., Add (if not already there) to /etc/apt/sources.list :
deb http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian unstable mythtv
2., Install (if you don't yet have it) apt-build :
apt-get install apt-build && apt-get update
3., Set -O3 -march=k6-3 -mcpu=k6-3 (probably optional) in
/etc/apt/apt-build.conf
4., Install mythtv with apt-build :
apt-build install
5., Wait...
The error will appear when globalsettings.cpp gets compiled.
(Takes quite long) You can start a "watch free" to see
the memory leakage.

Kernel: Linux 2.6.5 official source
