Bug 290078 – bash-4.0_p28 and bash-completion 1.0-r5 crashes

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joel 2009-10-21 22:41:00 UTC]

I'm trying to enable bash-completion, but when I type 'source /etc/profile.d/bash-completion.sh' or if I put it in bashrc, session crashes with the error message:
"bash: xmalloc: no se pueden asignar 20971520001 bytes (0 bytes asignados)", which in English means something like "bash: xmalloc: Cannot assign 20971520001 bytes (0 bytes assigned)". 
I've installed bash-4.0_p28, bash-completion-1.0-r5 and gentoo-bashcomp, and I've activated all bash-completions (for i in `seq 1 49`; do eselect bashcomp enable --global $i; done).

Reproducible: Always

I've just uninstalled gentoo-bashcomp, and everything goes fine now. So, the bug is in gentoo-bashcomp

You need more ram, obviously. Only enable the bash-completions you need.

It's not that obvious. This happens when activate bash-completion for base, gentoo and every completion that comes from gentoo-bashcomp package. The rest of the completions doesn't affect to the behaviour of this.
