It doesn't seem to report any error. I've run a valgrind on luatex with 
the attached simple test file calling fontloader.info(); it seems to 
have a memleak of about 80kb+(2kb per font). It's not nothing, but 2kb 
times your 7400 fonts is about 15Mb, we're far from 3Gb... This doesn't 
seem very easy to debug, but I'll continue to make tests about this... 
Maybe you could run dbg or valgrind to see what's happening? (you'll 
have to build luatex from sources if you want to follow this way, but 
it's fairly easy).

Thank you,
