hello,
when pickling a very large object (~200 MB) in python 2.4.4 with
cPickle to a file, I get the following errors:
python(14896) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=8421376) failed (error
code=3)
python(14896) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region
python(14896) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug
reducing the size to about half that, everything works fine. is there
a limit I should be aware of?
I'm running python 2.4.4 under OS X 10.4.11.
any thoughts on what might be going on would be most appreciated!
cheers,
Chris Diehl
