Severity: normal
Version: 0.71
Synopsis: Saving 8 meg CSV text file import bombs

Comment 1 Morten Welinder 2001-12-03 13:58:30 UTC 
You're just out of memory, :-)

We build the entire xml tree in memory -- a total waste of resources
that we will fix at some point.
Comment 2 Jody Goldberg 2003-10-17 06:02:58 UTC 
We've got a sax based exporter now that uses alot less memory.
It is currently marked experimental, but will transition into being the main
exporter for 1.3.x
