It actually exits. I'll see what I can do to post a reproduction.

Edit: Okay, this code does the same thing. (It stops and the print never shows up.)

use strict;
use warnings;

my %hash = ();
foreach my $a (1..500) {
    foreach my $b (1..4000) {
        foreach my $c (1..10) {
            foreach my $d (1..7) {
                $hash{$a}{$b}{$c}{$d} = $d;
            }
        }
    }
}
print "here\n";

I assume it's just running out of memory somehow, but I don't know why there's no error message or what I should do about it.
