OpenStreetMap
Tried to upload edits in newest JOSM but validation crashed the program with out of memory. Allocated 4GB, but JOSM said gib more clay, so added 2GB more. Still failed. All six cores of my (uber powerful FX) were pegged at 100%, eventually I had to kill java. Tried with the previous version with the same result. Finally, after a few restarts, I uploaded my edits without any validation checking. That’s a first for me.
It’s kinda strange. I only got about 800 objects to upload and it failed. I regularly uploaded more than that, almost double, successfully while also fixing all the validation flags that I can fix. The only thing different that I can think of is that I used the remote control feature for fixing a couple of notes from main openstreetmap website.
Anyways… happy mapping!

Sounds like the validator was crashing on something. I haven’t tested the latest version yet, so I can’t confirm it, but perhaps there was some special tag being used that caused the Validator to do too many checks, or even get in an infinite loop checking stuff.
What was the area you were editing?

Klang valley area in east Selangor, and a spot or two at south eastern tip of Johor. Validator starting hanging doing the crossing boundary check (if I am not mistaken, check no 7). Every single box is checked in the validator settings.
