Hi I wasn’t able to reproduce quite what you got but kind of the same. ``` $ seq 1 24 | git column --mode=column --padding=-1 12345678910<binary?><numbers> $ seq 1 24 | git column --mode=column --padding=-3 fatal: Data too large to fit into virtual memory space. $ seq 1 24 | git column --mode=column --padding=-5 fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed (tried to allocate 18446744073709551614 bytes) ``` This is an “Internal helper command” under the “plumbing” suite. And I get the impression that sometimes these fallthroughs are treated as “don’t do that”. But I don’t know. On the other hand it failing inside malloc looks weird. Why not catch this before the malloc call is made?
