Out of memory is a possibility, I am running all this on my small laptop, but retried it closing everything else and failed again. /var/log/syslog are attached. Except the rise of temperature cores, there is no error appearing here. But I am maybe looking at the wrong place, I am a pretty bad sys admin :~

Wow, just an exercise for you !? What will it be when you will start to really work then ;)

Fair enough. Still, it makes sense to invest time and energy on the topic even if I am definitely not the skilled guy for it !! I am just an humble application developer able to use it and report bugs ;)
