Thanks for asking.

I'm marking this as fixed myself after a quick test I did in stable 
using a self-hosted KVM machine with 2GB RAM and 2 GB swap. This is how 
it failed:

<jemalloc>: Error in calloc(): out of memory

== Error ==  system call for: 
"['/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/install_spades/bin/spades-hammer', 
'/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/spades_test/corr
ected/configs/config.info']" finished abnormally, err code: -6


Previously, only the "err code: -6" line was shown, not the "out of 
memory" message, so this seems to be fixed now.

Thanks a lot.
