Another thing to check is perhaps if you have any per-user limits configured that could restrict the amount of memory used. Run limits, and see if you're restricting any of the options. On my laptop which has 512 MB of RAM (and doesn't encounter this problem), I have: Resource limits (current): cputime infinity secs filesize infinity kb datasize 524288 kb stacksize 65536 kb coredumpsize infinity kb memoryuse infinity kb memorylocked infinity kb maxprocesses 3675 openfiles 7351 sbsize infinity bytes vmemoryuse infinity kb Joe > > with best regards, > pirat sriyotha. > > Joe > > > -- PGP Key : http://www.marcuscom.com/pgp.asc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
