Does this also affect 9vx.Linux version. I have been testing a few
ports under it and it seems to crash in different places. I have not
been able to isolate the type of code causes it so I did not report it
on the list. It does seem to happen when I allocate a huge amount of
memory for a dense matrix. It will start slowing down and closes.
I haven't tried getting an update from hg tip. I have been trying to
avoid installing mercurial to get to the hg tip. Any chance we can get
a scheduled archive of the 9vx.* just like p9p?
