If you want to work around this for the time being, it's safe to remove that package since it's currently an experiment and no other package depends on it. Just 'rm -rf' the exp/locale/collate directory and run you should be good. > i'd wonder though if there were some way to cut down the module > so it doesn't take quite so much memory. even halving it would > mean you could ditch swap. There's a note at the top of the generated tables.go file that says "TODO: implement more compact representation for sparse blocks". I'm going to investigate what's causing such high memory usage in the compiler. I imagine those huge array initializations cause hundreds of thousands of Node allocations, at the very least. Anthony
