--- Comment #28 from Rafał Mużyło  ---
I wouldn't say 'always' and 'never'.

As the log suggests, this was tested with a simple sounds effect - essentially
a short beep. Engine caches only limited number of them - as I've said in
earlier comments, in other games of that engine (even one affected by this bug,
just not brutally so), the growth stops at (IIRC) 32 cached sound effects, then
they get reused. It's simply that in the brutal example, game runs out of vm
before it reaches that point - though the usage is still high enough to risk a
random freeze later of a random reason. Given the time taken, some of the
freezes with first commit only might have been of this nature.
