That allows poly to start up normally. -H values well above half the size of the virtual memory also work, as long as they are below the size of the virtual memory (less some relatively small safety margin).
I take it that your crashes happen immediately on start-up.
That's right. Also, poly -v crashes in the same way, without printing any version information.
I'll be happy to test a fix/the next release on my machine when you have one.
