[Help-bash] xmalloc: ../../../bash/lib/sh/makepath.c:116: cannot allocate 265 bytes

[adrelanos]

Hi!

Script:

#!/bin/bash
set -x
shopt -s globstar
echo /** > ~/testfile
echo "end"

I am getting:

./a: xmalloc: ../../../bash/lib/sh/makepath.c:116: cannot allocate 265
bytes (1123962880 bytes allocated)

Is this expected?

Should I better use "find" for such large requests? Can "find" be
safely combined with "sort"?

Cheers,
