Reproduction for microsoft/TypeScript#21048

npm install
npm start

The problem appears when the @types/ramda dependency is added to the project. Without it there is no Node error, but the following message :

Failed to compile.

./src/index.tsx
Module not found: Can't resolve 'ramda' in '/home/project/src'

This is expected because the index.tsx file is extracted from a larger project. But in the minimal issue reproduction the "failed to compile" basically means success.

However when the @types/ramda dependency is included the Node process doesn't display the "failed to compile" message and hang on for some time before running out of memory :
