Possible memory leak/bug found

Trying to generate a very basic grooving cycle and it just keeps trying to generate without doing anything. On looking at task manager I noticed that it is trying to do something so CPU is being used. However, it is also slowly increasing the amount of memory being used. Currently it's using over 60GB of memory. Obviously that usage is within the page file as I don't have 64GB of RAM!

 

This eventually led to a crash and restart required.

 

Not sure if I am doing anything majorly wrong. I mostly use CAM for milling, not turning, so this might be an issue with the way I have something set-up.

Probably worth adding that the issue is with the 3rd operation. That operation, I have barely changed anything. The same problem occurs with or without groove suppression, and also with or without rest machining.

I found the overall issue that was causing it to take infinite time to generate. I had the outer profile selected in the setup, which is not concentric with the hole that I was trying to machine. I assume this is what was causing the problem.

 

However, I still consider it a bug that because of this, it just kept trying to the point it crashed out the program. I think once it gets to the point that it is using more than 4 times the RAM I have, and double the page size, it should really stop what it is trying to do.
