Subject: Memory exhaustion on pa test case?
Date: Fri, 13 Aug 1999 12:42:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <14260.29733.813235.726090@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)

When I run the test set through gas (recent snapshot),
gas/testsuite/hppa/parse/block2.s causes gas to consume massive memory.  The
test is trying to use

 .block -1

I get the impression that gas is trying to allocate 4G of memory.  Is this
supposed to happen?  Or is there a bug in gas here?  I don't know enough about 
gas to evaluate this, but there does seem to be a problem.

Should there be range checking going on?

Jerry
