The 9 or 10M of RAM is the amount of *active* RAM, not free. The amount of free RAM on my system is typically about 700-800k, but sometimes goes down to 72k. I've upgraded to the version of Emacs in the -release ports, but still have problems with Emacs dying if I try and start it just after the system's been swapping heavily. I'm currently re-compiling it again with less optimisation, to see if that helps. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland jraynard@dial.pipex.com james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
