This should not happen, especially on such a small archive. I've tried |
| 24 |
`strace xz -t m4-1.4.16.tar.xz` and looked for calls to mmap (e.g. |
| 25 |
memory allocations). They never were larger than 68 MB |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Try it yourself. The second parameter in mmap is the allocated size in byte. |
