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.
