 If you run zip on a large set of files (in my case: ~40000 mails), the
 process size grows constantly (but moderately) and finally bails with an
 'out of memory' error.

 I did not follow the process precisely, but I doubt that the zip process
 did exceed 100MB in size (on my 2GB machine running haiku natively). That
 should not be a reason for out-of-memory, should it?

 Anyway, since I can reproduce it here, I will look into it later today.
