Commit "Fail when out of memory in set_hunkmax()" in version 2.7.2 fixes the segmentation fault, however it does not fix the insane memory consumption (8 GB on my 4 GB memory machine according to valgrind.)

Should be fixed in commit "Fail when out of memory in set_hunkmax()" now.

Got an other issue which output this before segfault:
patching file util.h

Ran out of memory using Plan A -- trying again...

patching file util.h
Segmentation fault

Use it as 'patch  util.h --input crash.diff'.
