I'd like to be able to claim that Euphoria has magical properties that allow it to do things that can't be done by C, but the fact is that Euphoria is calling standard C library routines (malloc and free) which are making standard Linux system calls. The same series of calls could be done in C. It sounds like Linux gave so much memory to your process that some important kernel process got blocked, and a kind of "deadlock" occurred.
