[chimera-dev] Crash running Chimera benchmark

[Thomas Goddard]

Hi Dave,

  The seg fault you observe is very likely an out-of-memory condition.
It appears to be in Numeric copying an array.  Chimera tries to catch
memory allocation failure during the big allocations, but if a big one
succeeds but then Numeric internally does one that fails it is likely
to cause a crash.  Not sure if traceback frame #1 where it is passing
src_strides = 0x0, src_dimensions = 0x0, src_nd = 0 is valid.  Looks
like it is trying to copy a 0 dimensional array.

  Did you try determining which benchmark test caused the crash?

  How much memory does the machine have?
