[allowframebreaks] causes memory leak

[OliverFaust]

Dear Experts,

The following code:

\documentclass[10pt]{beamer}
\usetheme{glasgow}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[allowframebreaks]{Summary}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

causes a memory leak. That means the process will not stop until all system memory is exhausted. Without [allowframebreaks] the document is produced as expected. The code was executed with: lualatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode --shell-escape "demoAllowFrameBreaks".tex

Any pointers on how to solve the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, I've never tried running the template with lualatex. Have you tried with xelatex?

There are two issues when using xelatex:

1. FiraSans is not found
2. TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=5000000]. \end{frame}

Using LuaLaTeX solves the first error. The second issue seems to indicate a memory leak. With the solution, I follow Theo Pepler who suggests: Under the Build options, change Default Compiler to LuaLaTeX, and click OK. http://tpepler.github.io/howto/howto-install-glasgow-beamer-theme.html
