tectonic fail out of memory

[webbery]

Hi, I compiled a tex file in VirtualBox. Here is error info:

Running TeX ...
note: warnings were issued by the TeX engine; use --print and/or --keep-logs for details.
Running BibTeX ...
note: warnings were issued by BibTeX; use --print and/or --keep-logs for details.
Rerunning TeX because bibtex was run ...
Running xdvipdfmx ...
error: Out of memory - asked for 10663802 bytes

But tex file was build success after I closed atom editor. Does tectonic consume a lot of memory?

Hmm, that is a very strange error. Tectonic uses preallocated memory arrays that are relatively large compared to a minimal TeX engine, but are extremely manageable for modern machines.

Are you able to produce a .tex file that consistently triggers this out of memory error, regardless of whether your editor is open or closed? I have trouble seeing how closing the editor would make the problem go away.
