#2783: RTS -K/-M options not honored -----------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: j.waldmann | Owner: igloo Type: merge | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.10.2 Component: Runtime System | Version: 6.10.1 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -----------------------------------+------------------------------ Old description:

I have this program

main = print $ do x <- [ 0 .. 5 ] ; let { y = 5 - y } ; return y

I compile with ghc-6.10.1 --make

and I execute with +RTS -M10m -K10m

but still the executable quickly eats up all my memory.

(I know the program is silly but still it should crash gracefully.)

When I do the same thing with ghc-6.8.3, I get "Heap exhausted", as it should be.
