Isabelle/jEdit has a "Monitor" panel, its "Heap" tab might provide some
clues.

The current test version of Poly/ML is polyml-test-1b2dcf8f5202. If you

https://isabelle.in.tum.de/repos/isabelle/file/tip/Admin/components/main
you will see what is the latest and greatest one.

Note that we still have 1 or 2 hard crash situations that need to be
sorted out.
