It looks like your suspicion was right.... I've isolated one particulare case,
simply run the script attached. If you remove the comment before the extra
call of spawn_pol() at the bottom of the script, the error is avoided.
Hopefully, solving this will also solve the other cases of mem-alloc error
I've been seeing ;) I'm not using spawn_pol/sol() during the earlier
mentioned conversion, but my hope is that the error generated during
conversion will turn out to be related and caused by the constant-folding of
some other function. But I'll know soon enough if it isn't ;)
Looking forward to your assesment.
