Out of memory! The free() one occurs a lot ... // ben@scientia:/var/log/news/OLD$ gzip -dc errlog.1.gz | grep -c free 12142 And that's just one day. Any idea what could cause this? A problem with Perl/FreeBSD/the perl script in question/my setup, etc? (I'm not sure which perl script is causing it, there are no timestamps or any other clues in the log that I can see. I think the only two perl scripts involved with INN are controlchan and Cleanfeed though.) Grepping for recursive in the perl*(1) manpages didn't show anything that looked relevant. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
