Hi all. I'm running threaded Perl 5.8.7, compiled with ithreads, on FreeBSD 5.4 STABLE with 1.5GB RAM. Perl is now running out of memory as I'm getting Seg Faults/Core dumps. (I'm creating a max of 15 threads all parsing different HTML. There appears to only be 124MB of free physical memory remaining--3 GB of swap space is available/unused.) FYI, it was compiled using FreeBSD malloc: /home/charles> perl -V:usemymalloc usemymalloc='n'; It seems that the OS is not alloting swap space to this Perl job. Is there a quick suggestion as to how to tell it to use swap space and/or should I increase kernel memory during boot? Any general suggestions? Thanks, Charles
