Summary0000002: Crash when using site finder on large worlds (mem usage >2gb)
DescriptionWhen using the site finder on a 257x257 world, the memory consumption rises constantly and when it reaches 2 GiB, DF crashes. I suspect this is because there is no virtual memory left.
Steps To Reproduce1. Create a 257x257 map
2. Start playing, Fortress Mode, Use the site finder, search
3. Watch memory usage climb
4. crash
Tagscrash, memory, site finder

 The crash @2GB is expected. 32bit windows applications have a 4GB memory space, but only 2GB can be used (the other 2GB is reserved for system use [think stack, etc]). If you're on a 32bit platform, booting with /3GB will move you from a 2GB/2GB process space split to a 3GB/1GB split. This may be enough to work around the crash, as it seems to be close to completing the search -- but I cannot test that now to confirm.

If this is not a memory leak, df.exe either needs to be optimized to use less memory or recompiled to be a 64bit executable. (The 64bit recompile would be nice however :) )

 I know that. While it is correct behavior for the application to terminate when its address space is used up, DF should not use that much memory. And using /3GB is not a solution because there are enough applications and drivers that crash and burn when used with it.

 Confirmed. The site finder works fine in 40d, but in 0.31.01 it takes FAR longer, and then crashes (for me after around an hour at 200ish/257).

 I can confirm this as well. However it's slightly different for me. Just as my memory is filled (2GB, Win7 32 bit) Windows gives me a runtime error: "This program has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."

 I can confirm, though I forgot to check the Memory usage. Odd considering I'm on a 64-bit system, but I guess 32bit emulation will still crash if it gets to high.

(I have 8 GB of memory)

 Confirmed on 64-bit system (Win7 Ultimate).

See also http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=136, [^] for when you reduce the overall map size just enough to make the finder not crash.

 This should be handled for 0.31.04.
