I can confirm this, everytime a file in the diff is parsed there is 65k allocated for the levenstein table, but i had a hitcount of around 14000 parsed files before i ran out of memory (1 GB in my laptop) I dont think there are 14000 files in that diff but anyway i'll have to release the tables because afterwards i dont use them anyway. But the 14000 allocations indicate a different bug in the parser which needs to be fixed. Cant find this one yet, give me a few more days (missed the 3.3.1 deadline so you'll have to wait until 3.3.2 or use the patch that i'll attach here as soon as i have a fix and then recompile kompare).

This is gonna be a little spammy... I'm reassigning everything that's currently 
assigned to bruggie (who's been the default assignee for bugs since time began) 
to the new list address. 
 
Bruggie: if you're working on one or more of these atm, please snatch 'em 
back.. 
 
Everyone, esp. Joshua and Bruggie: if this genrates 33 mails, my sincere 
apologies.. 

SVN commit 444219 by je4d:

put the levenstein table on the stack, not the heap, and hence only allocate mem for it when needed, rather than having 65k*(number of files) allocated all the time.
