Why is this getting out of memory?

I've just flashed an Olimexino-STM32 board with the 1.60 version. Blinking LED's are working fine, but the code below produces an out of memory error when x=220, I've tried to rewrite the JavaScript in several ways, without luck.

It doesn't make much sense to me, but an unqualified guess would be that the strings produced in the console.log statement are not being released.
```
var i=0;

function Testing() {
        console.log(i);
        i++;
        // No effect
        process.memory();
}

for (var x=0; x<1000; x++)
        Testing();
```

Downgrading from the build of 2014-04-02 to the 2014-03-31 build solved the problem.

Ahh - yes, some big changes went in the repository a few days ago and caused some regressions. That issue was fixed yesterday though, so if you try the build for 2014-04-03 you'll probably find that it's fine.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
