Hi!

In my organization I have two PC servers running FreeBSD. One 
have 32M RAM and other have 64M RAM.

I've tried to compile mico-c++ on this machines but C++ compiler 
constantly complained about shortage of memory. For monitoring 
memory usage I used `top' and saw, that compiler allocated more 
than 30M of memory. At the same time system had about 10M free 
RAM and 40M free swap (on 64M system, of course). On 32M system 
digits is different (0M free RAM and about 60M free swap), but 
compiling aborts with the same message - "virtual memory 
exhausted".

Next, I run GIMP and tried to load very large image. Things
repeated - system had plenty of free memory and at the same time 
application complained about shortage of memory :(


Any idea or suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
