I'm running a 2.2.5 system with bisdn-0.97, Xaccel, qvwm, netscape communicator (the linux version I believe), all together an explosive mixture ;-). Last night I did a several hour download of a larger piece of sw through netscape and had a 20s ping running to keep the connection alive at any rate. This morning I tried to ftp from another machine to the FreeBSD machine on the local ethernet and got on the client side : inetd in realloc(): warning: junk pointer too low to make sense. That came obviously from the FreeBSD ftpd/inetd . I looked at the swap space which had only 2MB free (of 130MB). So the machine seemed to have run out of swap during the night or at least very close to the limit and the ftpd invocation might have scraped the top. Rebooting was the only resort at that time. I'm just reporting this in case someone might have an idea which realloc might have been the cause in inetd and if a more declarative message might be issued in that case. -- Chris Christoph P. U.
