Uh oh, I think I replied to the wrong thread. After reading the PR in  
question, this doesn't appear to be the same problem that I'm having  
(which appears to be the ARC growing until it panics). Anyway, when  
the build is complete and all that (~2.5 hours to go, plus other stuff  
after that), I'll try again with no ARC settings, when I have the time.
