Hi,
I don't want to start contributing to this list with gripes, so
first can I say how much I appreciate all your effort to give us a
usable GNU-Eiffel.
For use with Small/SmartEiffel, I had created a script which goes
through all the source directories, runs 'short' on them and creates
an index to the resulting html files. I ran this on the Adler
release and it worked away, albeit slowly, and produced 45 html
files, but when it gets to random/gen_rand.e it rapidly consumes my
4G of memory and starts filling the 20G of swap space with no
apparent end.
Here are the details from when I just run short on that one file,
and you can see where it gets to before it starts blowing up.

I tried this on the bleeding-edge git download (release 2014.dev
(Alexander Graham Bell)), and it gives the same result.
Incidentally, should I be using this latest version for trying to
get my old SmartEifel code to work, or is it safer to carry on using
Adler?
Am I reporting this bug in the right place?
Best wishes,
Laurie
