happens when a process uses up too much memory.

I had this problem precisely on a VMWare image of debian when debugging something yesterday, compilation can take 1-2gb of ram for vibenews. dub on linux i386 doesn't show out of memory errors, it just closes the process with Error: <blank> and a SIGKILL

Just to clarify, DUB itself unfortunately doesn't have much control over the DMD process, which consumes the actual memory. It's the OS that kills the process tree as a safety measure (usually based on ulimit settings).
