Sorry, I meant to copy the list too :( ---------- Forwarded message --------- De: Diego Nieto Cid <[email protected]> Date: mié, 11 feb 2026 a las 11:11 Subject: Re: Have any difficulties arisen with the Lua scripting languaje into Hurd? To: Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez <[email protected]>
Hi, This is the line with the assert: https://sources.debian.org/src/webkit2gtk/2.50.5-1/Source/JavaScriptCore/heap/ StructureAlignedMemoryAllocator.cpp#L106 And structureIDMask is defined as 4GB - 1 here: https://sources.debian.org/src/webkit2gtk/2.50.5-1/Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/StructureID.h?hl=73#L56 I'm not sure, but it seems the code at StructureAlignedMemoryAllocator.cpp is trying to allocate 4GB and, since gnumach is in the dpkg log, I have to ask how much memory does the hurd have?
