Description
try clip the attached point layer with the attached polygon layer.
QGIS will quickly start to eat memory (see attached screenshot) until the program crashes ("killed" in the terminal).
I'm using qgis master on Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm pretty sure is a regression ad in the past I have successfully clipped much more big/complex vectors.

Please check if this was solved with the fixed memory leak in the OGR provider.

The leak seems gone (thanks for that!), meanwhile it seems that now the tool causes qgis to crash (tested on osgeo4w for now, will do also on Linux) when the layer to be clipped is more than 20/30 MB.
I tested for example to clip the "buildings" or "roads" OSM layers (as shapefiles) of Portugal using a polygon representing 1 district.
The error that shows (before qgis crashing) is in the screenshot attached. On the other hand the "railways" layer clips ok with the same clip layer.
Samples files attached & linked (the buildings layer it too big to be attached).

cheers
PS
The dataset linked in the original description seems anyway too heavy to be run/tested in a short time, at least on Windows. I will have to try on Linux.

I've tried clipping buildings_3763 (buildings.zip) shapefile with the clip_layer (clip_layer.zip) shapefile, and QGIS is not crashing, as of commit f8d6e32.
Giovanni, can you give it a try again to see if the crash can still be reproduced with your machine?

no more memory leak. Anyway the clip with the original posted dataset is very slow, but this is probably not a regression as all this vector tools are pretty inefficient with large data.
