#2512 malloc: *** mach_vm_map(size=...) failed

[Mojca Miklavec]

I'm getting the following weird error when compiling MikTeX 2.9-2016-06-27 on OS X 10.11:

[ 25%] Generating ../../include/miktex/mf.defaults.h
cd /path/to/miktex/work/build/include/miktex && /path/to/miktex/work/build/binlib/cfg --print-classes /path/to/miktex/work/build/Admin/Defaults/mf.defaults > mf.defaults.h

If I run the commant manually, here's what I get (I probably have to avoid stripping the debug info from MiKTeX):

Please check the input file: /path/to/miktex/work/build/Admin/Defaults/mf.defaults

It should loook exactly like this:

;; Number of autorounded points per cycle.
max_wiggle=1000

;; Space for storing moves in a single octant.
move_size=20000

The file looks the same.
