Message4109

This bug seems to be still there by 2009.
This is a blocker preventing to load the best oss ERP - OpenERP - on
Jython cause it uses the reportlab reporting engine and reportlab sets
up large table of char sequences when loading.
Included is the file causing the problem for me. I could verify that
this problem is caused by large lists too.
Indeed, I trimmed all the datastructures intinialized in the _fondata.py
and then it loaded (not attached ws just a test).

The command leading to a crash (either from command line or in OpenERP) is:

from reportlab.platypus import SimpleDocTemplate

of course to try this you should put the reportlab package in your path,
either the last 2.2 release, either trunk from here:
http://www.reportlab.org/downloads.html

The the shown command will result in that stack trace:

>>> from reportlab.platypus import SimpleDocTemplate

Hope this helps.

Guys this is really an annoying bug for us, I see no workaround, so if
you could fix it, that would just help having a super great oss ERP on
the Java platform.
