It's still chugging after more than an hour here, but mem use is
steady at 143,828K.  So it may just be caught in an infinite loop.

I have a little more time now then when this first came up, so I'll
see if I can come up with some kind of repro.

Maybe just put it in bold or something in the change log? Or put
"WARNING:" in front of it?   I saw it there, but it totally did not
jump out at me as something meant my normal operating procedures would
all be broken.
