so we have a successful report that the advised option helps.

please note: the advised option is **NOT** repeat **NOT** a solution.
destroying all of the memory and throwing away useful information
cannot possibly be called a "solution".

ld *really does* need to make *optimal* use of memory, by restoring
the techniques that were used decades ago, and to use dynamic 
analysis of the amount of available *RESIDENT* memory, so as to
very very specifically avoid swapping.
