    The issue was not reproducible using machines with higher RAM memory but the issue got fixed after updating the swap space to non-zero in 10 GB RAM debian 11 machines. The place and route was failing due to zero swap space in debian 11 machines.

    It has taken time for us to debug and identify the actual cause.

    Thank you for the patience!

If the same features were running fine in debian 10 machines, then debian 11 machine should be not much problem because both required almost the same RAM specification. What i can suggest is to delete db and db_incremental files and recompile again. Make sure other not used applications are closed. If the problem still persists, you may have to increase virtual memory.
