terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' #131

I get this kind of error constantly after a few minutes - hour after I start electrumx. I run electrumx on a raspberry pi with 8 GB RAM, there is plenty of memory available. Is this a known problem?

Ok, seems this is related to the memory consumption. Although there is plenty of RAM available, python seems to be limited to around 2GB RAM usage. (>2.318.660 bytes ) The memory usage of electrumx_server increases over time, after around one hour the limit is reached and I get this error message. Is it normal that the memory usage increases constantly?

I've also encountered this problem. It happens during initial block processing and only on RasbperryPi. Haven't solved it yet.
