 This virus (cc1plus out of memory) has now spread from qt4-qdbus
 and into qt4-mysql qt4-pgsql qt4-sqlite3 and qt4-tiff
 
 The file the compiler blows up on is the same (name anyway) in each
 case (generators/mac/pbuilder_pbx.cpp)
 
 Before these packages were upgraded to version 4.5.3 they all compiled
 correctly (or at least seemed to) - I last compiled qt4-sqlite3 when
 it moved from version 4.5.2nb1 to 4.5.2nb2 (compiled Oct 1), the others
 I last compiled very late August (but qt4-qdbus failed at 4.5.2nb1
 about the same time the others were successfully compiling...)
 
 Does anyone have any ideas of a rational way to figure out what is
 making the compiler decide it needs 252073488 + 15825784 bytes of
 (malloc'd I assume) data space ?
 
 That or why the NetBSD 4.0 compiler can't handle this, but apparently
 both gcc34 and gcc44 (from pkgsrc) can compile it (though I get the link
 errors reported earlier in the PR, that's most probably just some kind
 of finger trouble though, which could be worked out if doing that was
 really the right way to handle this.)
 
 It is also worth noting that NetBSD  -current's gcc version is only
 one minor rev increased over that in NetBSD 4.0 (as best I can work
 out).
