Hello

I having some difficulty with FreeBSD 2.2.5 with respect
to memory allocation by processes.

Example:

a 7MB C file compiles when run as root. However,
results in "cpp:memory exhausted" when run as a
user.

The complete executable is 49MB in size but even
when run as root generates "out of memory".

I have 128MB in the system and have recompiled the 
kernel to support 128MB. In addition, I have 500MB
of swap.

vmstat -m 

gives interesting results.

And top states that I have 128MB.

I am in quite a bind and would appreciate any
help. 


Thanks
