Maybe, maybe not. I may try the original problem (by removing the
parallel collecting option) to see if that catches it.
Then we might as well report a bug in boehm.

Anyway, reviewing my outstanding bugs on sourceforge, I wondered if
1847164 was now fixed.
Not exactly. I get:

'eeocode' in 'eif_except.h' not implemented
'stack_trace_string' in 'eif_except.h' not implemented
Call on Void target!
Unhandled exception

I assume this is not "no more memory", but I'm going to recompile
anyway, to see what happens.
