Hello! I used to have my e-mail account on a DEC Alpha box, with OSF/1 and 128MB of RAM. Now, I have moved to a FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP (971006) box, with 256MB RAM. I use here the same version of Pine i had in the Alpha box: 3.96. Now, I cannot open some relatively big folders (above 5MB), 'cause Pine exits on signal 6, complaining with a "out of free storage" error. I found some info about that message, stating that it was due to malloc() not being able to allocate enough memory... so, I did: ln -s 'A>' /etc/malloc.conf to double the cache size, and now, pine simply keeps trying forever to open the big folders. What can I try to do, to fix this? Thanks in advance! Victor M. Carranza G. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
