Possible memory leak - Githubissues

Hi. I'm porting my blog to this theme.

There are around 130 articles, each with one cover image (well, actually there are some more, but I temporarily deleted them to try to fix this issue).

When compiling it, I used to see an error about heap allocation.

To solve it locally I had to increase the memory limit of the build process, updating the build command in the package.json file:

    "build": "cross-env NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=16384 gatsby build --prefix-paths",
    "develop": "cross-env NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=16384 gatsby develop",

Even with 16GB of memory, the build fails, as you can see from the logs here: https://app.netlify.com/sites/thriving-lolly-25f944/deploys/641ad5eedb761b02e5be526e

Any idea on what can cause the memory leak?

Here's the error message I receive on my local machine when I remove the cross-env NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=16384 part
