I was doing an update of my system, and I hit these errors and skipped builds all over the place; so I've been eliminating them one by one and making the skipped list smaller. In the process of these investigations I noticed that my system practically froze several times and I spotted multiple pfaults through top. I also ran a lone run of just libxul as it was one in the list with an error: new compiler error. I then basically shut every app I was running down and ran it again with just top showing. I found that at least one part hit the roof of my system, with nsCharacter... something or rather running at 1430M+ in swap, and 520M+ resident when compiling. Does anyone else think it might be wise to put a warning during build saying that this could take over 2G+ of memory to compile, and rebuild with no apps running if it fails?
