It sounds like you haven't tried to reproduce the bug. Actually it has *nothing* to do with resource exhaustion and "slowly dying". Your system will die before you can say "knife". Most probably it will happen during the first call to escript.erl, but there is a chance you'll need to run it a few times (2-3). So to automate it, I've written loop.sh. It isn't necessary to use loop.sh. Just run escript.erl (which doesn't contain any memory/CPU consuming calls). > This is not a PR nor a bug.
