I would do one more test, but this time try bumping the size up to say 5MB or so. The reason is, the module in question was already very large to start with, and the table put it over the edge. So the total amount of static data in the module was probably a good bit larger than 800KB. Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@FreeBSD.ORG
