As Guido said, bug reports belong on SourceForge.  It doesn't segfault for
me (MSVC6 + Win98SE), although it takes a long time to complete and thrashes
to disk horribly.  But distinctions like that are lost forever unless
they're attached to a bug report.

BTW, if you need to do things "like this" frequently, buy a 64-bit box, a
terabyte of RAM, and get a real operating system <wink>.
