Greetings,

Using ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 32 bit and EPIC 0.7.0 with Eclipse Luna 4.4.2 32 bit on Windows 7 64 bit with 16 GB RAM total.

When under the debugger the line @hexf = <HEXF> crashes.

open(HEXF, "<", $fname) || simDie "*** Unable to read $fname: $!\n";
@hexf = <HEXF>;
close HEXF;

The app has been around for several years and is used daily.
This used to work fine from within the EPIC debugger a couple of days ago.
I am loading a 160 MB text file.
I can watch the RAM usage rapidly rise until it higs 2 GB then the crash.

Loading the file outside of the debugger works fine using about 1.2 GB after the load into the array.

Perl EPIC / Preferences
Interpreter type: Standard
Eable warning abled
Suspend debugger at first statemen is enabled.
Everything else are are at the defaults.

Tried:
1) Uninstalling and reinstalling EPIC
2) Created a fresh eclipse folder and installed EPIC fresh again.

Same behavior.

Is there a common configuration in my home folder?
Anyone have any other ideas?
J.R.
