[Gmsh] meshing problem of gmsh-2.0.8

[Meiqiu Wang]

Dear Sir,

I have two gmsh on my linux machine, one is compiled from the source 
code, the other is the pre-compiled binary for linux. I played both gmsh 
on the guish tutorial "how to create a simple 2D model 
<http://www.geuz.org/gmsh/doc/gui_tutorial/>", all of them have 
encountered the same problem in the step of meshing 
"http://www.geuz.org/gmsh/doc/gui_tutorial/mesh2.html". Instead to 
generate a coarse mesh, the gmsh starts to eats my memory and never get 
out, until I have to reboot my machine. Did you receive any such report 
by other users or aware of this kind of problem? Or can I try gmsh with 
lower version which maybe more stable?

I am looking forward to your help!

best regards,

Meiqiu
