I ran into weird bug when designing a lasercut enclosure, all the sides of the box are made with the 2D subsystem and for visualization extruded to 3D, this works fine. But when I try to compile just one of the 2D designs alone (for exporting to DXF) it will cause a seemingly infinite loop (I ran out of swapspace at ~20G of memory used by OpenSCAD...), and it's not even the most complex part that triggers this.

This is on Mac, using 2011.12.13 version but I'm fairly sure I ran into same issue with the stable version as well (I switched to devel for a reason).
