They both just segfault with a stacktrace on my work laptop.  OTOH, both
succeed on our server, which admittedly has much more physical memory
(128GB), with lots of it free while I ran the commands.

So I guess the only real complaint is that the out-of-memory condition
should take precedence over other faults, or did you have something else
in mind?

Achim.
