Indeed, we would need to know more.  Normally, the RPython MemoryError
is caught and turned into a Python-level MemoryError at some point.
But according to the traceback the interpreter is not running any
Python code at this point.  It is either a corner case, or a real bug,
depending on how your Python code looks like.  It may also mean that
you're running with a too strict memory restriction (with the
environment variable PYPY_GC_MAX=value too small).


A bientôt,

Armin.
