ventsy velev commented on VELOCITY-886:
---------------------------------------

I looked at the source code - ASTIntegerRange does exactly what the name suggests - returns a range of integers. In this case it allocates 67 million ints and loops over them initializing them with values 0 - 67million. It appears that the out of memory exception is not handled correctly.

> The following template will cause an out of memory exception. 
> #foreach($i in [0..67000000])
> #if($i == 0)
> hi
> #end
> #end
> I'm not sure why this happens as it's only a loop that only produces output on the first iteration. 
> The same loop works fine if I reduce the number of iterations by 1 order of magnitude.
> The engine fails hard and no output is produced.
