Memory leak when using List.sortBy

[ghost]

I had the following code in a module:

f a =
    { a | b = List.sortBy a.b }

c = List.map f xs

When I ran elm make, the 'module process bar' stopped after a while and the my machines memory was filled up to the point where the os just froze.

I know that the usage of List.sortBy is wrong, but I don't think that it should lead to a total halt of the system. There may be some memory leak in elm make.

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.

For me, this fails immediately with:
