in thread h2xs problems (aka: h2xs ate my memory)

Interesting...

I tried again and got this:

kevin@koshka1:~/dev/perl/modules > h2xs -x /usr/include/bfd.h
Scanning typemaps...
 Scanning /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ExtUtils/typemap
Scanning /usr/include/bfd.h for functions...
Scanning /usr/include/bfd.h for typedefs...
Writing Bfd/Bfd.pm
Writing Bfd/Bfd.xs

Killed

There was a gap of several minutes before Killed.

For reference: Suse Linux 7.2 w/ 2.4.13 kernel, 1.13GHz Athlon, 256MB physical, 256MB swap, binutils 011021 (development snapshot) and 2.10.91, h2xs 1.21, perl 5.6.1, C::Scan 0.74, Data::Flow 0.05.

I also tried adding 6GB of extra swap space, h2xs swallowed the lot!
