Bus error: 10 - not freeing up memory? #3

When parsing ~10 simultaneous pdfs its crashing with a 'Bus error: 10'. I think this may have to do with not freeing some memory?

Anyone seen this before?

Bus error 10 suggests, that somewhere in the source pdfutils uses a bad pointer. It would be great if you could build pdfutils with debugflags (node-gyp --debug configure build) and try to reproduce the error with gdb.

Also, It would help to explain how exactly you'd manage to trigger this error. (Source, instructions to reproduce)

Memory management is a different rather shameful topic of pdfutils, I'm improving the situation :)

More than 1.3gb of ram to convert a 2000 pages pdf. :\

I don't program in C so I can't help.

Do you have a fix for this issue please?
