`quartus_syn` was unexpectedly terminated by signal 6

I am trying to compile a design targeting an Agilex (AGFB027R31C3I3V) and during the Analysis & Synthesis phase it quits with the following error (no other context):

Error(20549): Current module quartus_syn was unexpectedly terminated by signal 6. This may be because some system resource has been exhausted, or quartus_syn performed an illegal operation. You can view system resource requirements on the System and Software Requirements page of the Intel FPGA website (https://fpgasoftware.intel.com/requirements/). 

I have seen a similar error before when compiling on a server with insufficient RAM, but the machine being compiled on now has over 300GB of RAM.

Operating System: CentOS 7, Linux kernel 3.10.0

    Hi,


    Can you try to recompile it? delete the .qdb folder and rerun the flow see if it resolve the issue.
