Killed: 9 #1

When I run the code I always receive a Killed: 9 error. I believe this is most likely occurring because the kernel kills it because the script consumes too much of memory on my machine. Yet I have 16 GB of RAM.

It looks like a great tool! I hope to get it running on a different system.

The tool uses a lot of memory. During my tests I noticed 16 GB RAM are not enough for many domain names. However, the tool should fallback to a simple algorithm that does not use a lot of memory, when memory limits are reached. Could you provide the command line you used to invoke the tool? If you don't want to disclose the domain name, please provide the correct TLD (e.g. .com) and use a similar domain name of the exact same length.
