Yes, that is the right one. We most likely got a problem with memory
accounting in this case. Regarding your block cache question: The block
cache has not really been tested up until now, so there may still be
bugs. If you could provide a branch (e.g., on GitHub) or a run script, I
might be able to have a look at it. On the other hand, Stefan will be
back next week and, since wrote the thing, he might be able to clear
things up.

Cheers,

Sebastian
