Hi,
I'm trying to debug a Maude (2.3) run using "set trace on" option.
Maude prints information about the rules being applied for some time,
but then it stops printing anything after a point and starts consuming
memory rapidly so that it crashes with a std::bad_alloc.

I'm quite sure that my rules are terminating - I've seen Maude keep
printing stuff if the rule set is non-terminating, so I think the
problem is somewhere else. In some cases, I've managed to avoid the
above behavior by commenting out some rules, but there is no
particular set of rules that I can pinpoint for different examples.

Also, is there a way to set a timeout for rewriting in Maude, i.e.,
Maude should be able to stop the current rewriting and output the
intermediate result if timeout occurs.

Please advice.
