Package: redis
Version: 5:6.2.5-1
Severity: serious

Since redis version 5:6.2.5-1, the redis-server process on s390x tries
to allocate insane amount of memory, 2560 PiB, causing the build daemon
to OOM just to maintain the page tables of such amount of memory:

| [59125.870223] Out of memory: Killed process 1142100 (redis-server) total-vm:2814749767178764kB, anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:8kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:2952 pgtables:7908616kB oom_score_adj:0

The last message in the build log is:

| [ok]: corrupt payload: OOM in rdbGenericLoadStringObject

Version 5:6.2.4-1 built fine, so it's likely a regression introduced in
the new upstream version.
