>How-To-Repeat:
Just rebuild unison (or ocaml for that matter).
>Fix:
In case it's actually a memory problem, then I guess running ulimit should do it. But shouldn't that be in the Makefile?

I had the same problem with blender running out of memory, so I bumped up the process' memory limit, and it worked.
