[rt-devel] localization - extract-message-catalog hangs

[Ron Gidron]

I am trying to use the extract-message-catalog tool to update the 
translation,
I could not find a copy of the script under the installation directory 
so I copied it from the sbin directory
under my source tree (RT 3.0.3).

I am running the tool from the top directory of the RT installation 
(/opt/rt3/) and it always hangs in the same place:

Looking at ./lib/RT/Transaction_Overlay.pm
Looking at ./lib/RT/Transactions.pm
Looking at ./lib/RT/Transactions_Overlay.pm
Looking at ./lib/RT/URI.pm
Looking at ./lib/RT/User.pm
Looking at ./lib/RT/User_Overlay.pm
Looking at ./lib/RT/Users.pm
Looking at ./lib/RT/Users_Overlay.pm
Looking at ./lib/RT/FM.pm
Looking at ./lib/RT/DocToHtml.pm
Looking at ./lib/RT/2q
Looking at ./lib/RT/Create

** At this stage the script hangs ** after a while the CPU goes to 100% 
and the memory (all of my 263MB...) get eaten up until kswapd starts 
doing its thing and unless I brutally kill the process this will bring 
the box to its knees (P III 800Mhz box).
I tries to use strace and all I could see were repeated calls to mmap 
.......
Has anyone seen this behavior ? any suggestions?

Regards
Ron.
