Well I'm on windows, and everything just gets slower and slower until it completely freezes up. ctrl-alt-delete kill to task manager and then kill process works to get things moving again.	[reply]

It's not crashing at all. A hash with 10 million elements is huge! Allocating a hash of that size -- at least 100MB, I bet -- takes time, and if the OS starts using virtual memory, it'll take forever.	[reply]
