Description
This is not an active issue in whateverable, but I decided to create this ticket to make sure it does not slip through the cracks.
See 8159c2da613003f4f3b8d030863dc38c45951d00.
If I recall correctly, if you do $proc.print: $foo where $foo is large (hundreds of megabytes), horrible things happen. I think it is an issue in rakudo, but it has to be investigated more so that we get a useful ticket out of it.
