OS/ Linux Mint
Steps:
I open one of my projects with UV map set and when I press tab [smooth preview] system is doing re-calculation for a while and then I get erl_crash.dump file [51,0 MB!] - new record

the begining is:

+ attached file
I can't find what's so uniqe in this object

Just press TAB and W3D will crash...

BR, Hank

Yeah, weird.
The first log it's failing to allocate 10GB of memory, but the second log is still worst. It's far away that 10GB.

I'm going to try check your model at home tomorrow.
Do you was able to load it in 2.1.7?
I already saw a log like this reading a corrupted file. Did you tried to backup it an rename the Wings3D backup file: *.~wings (I think it's this way)?

2.1.7 has the same result - crash after 5-10 sec.
and even 1.5.4 is not better here
when I do the copy with .~wings extension, then I can't see it on the list for uplaod - thus can't confirm your advise.

Hi Hank
I got some time to check this and the problem is caused by your model that has two malformed faces:


So, you can fix it and solve the problem.
Anyway, I create a workaround for that case in the code. If dgud accept it next time we don't get a hard crash in this situation.

Perfect!
Thank you for checking and processing.

BR, Hank

A fix is available in Fixes for v2.2.1 (Patches)

today I got the same problem with 2.2.7 (even the patches are up to date )

log file over 6 GB and increasing...

BR, Hank

It looks like we got another situation which cause the same memory crash.
Can you try to isolate the part of the model that may causing that - as was made before?
