On my other, more muscular box, the repeated application of "optimize rats" 
takes down the whole desktop environment. After about two minutes the screen 
freezes and blacks out. A few seconds later this single line is shown: 
  acpid: client 5490 [0:0] has disconnected
I could still change to a different tty with [ctrl-alt-F1]. The gdm service
failed to restart. So I rebooted the whole box. 
This seems to be a memory leak problem. I noted, that memory usage goes way up
on rats optimization until it hits the ceiling (memory and swap used 100%).
See the system log I attached to the lauchpad bug report.

These crashes happen with my current, a bit larger project. The same PCB 
binary behaves inconspicuously when used with small scale projects. I attached
a gzip of the offending layout to this mail.
