--- Comment #1 from Adam D. Ruppe <destructionator at gmail.com> ---
Specifically the compiler seems to hang in a loop allocating memory until it
exhausts the system! Yikes.

I put it in gdb and ctrl+c'd a couple times just to see where it was:

Then it ran out of memory and slaughtered my system anyway.
