Don't really have a second machine handy as this is running on a notebook with the maximum hardware config, 60GB 7200rpm hard drives, 2GB RAM. Thanks for the link the the developers handbook since I think the dump device will work except my swap device is 256MB while I have 2GB of physical memory so that won't work. Is there a way to just output the trace and other things to a text file instead? Cheers, Vince
