Comment 3 for bug 882056

I've attempted the same bzr commit on a machine running Maverick and Python 2.6.6. Commit crashed, thou this time at the other end (i.e. receiving server) and with a different error message:

bzr: failed to report crash using apport:
     OSError(13, 'Permission denied')
bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.errors.ErrorFromSmartServer: Error received from smart server: ('error', 'Objects/stringobject.c:3565: bad argument to internal function')

The file I've been trying to commit is very large: 2.6G directory tree with about 100000 files. The commit basically eats up all the memory and then crashes. So, Python 2.6.6 doesn't seem to be an answer. What is the solution then? Not use bzr on huge files, or add lots of swap, or wait for another Python fix?

Thanks/Kaja
