Hello,
I am using a Python script named "RedG-analize" analize.py that calls
the webalizer to anazlize httpd logs and I am getting the error:
python2.1 in realloc(): error: allocation failed
Abort (core dumped)
The error began appearing as the logs grew in size and I suspect I am
running out of memory in some way but I am not sure.
I have only seen this error repeatedly on Google with regards to XFree86.
Any ideas how I can get around this?
Thanks,
Michael.

Yes, the process is running out of memory. That problem
is not Python-specific, except that your particular Python
program seems to require lots of memory.
You might try to increase your process limits. (Depending
on your shell, the command is "ulimit" or "limit"; please
consult the manual page of your shell.) If you're already
at the hard limit, you might have to compile a new kernel
with a larger DSIZE.
By the way, Python 2.1 is a bit outdated. I recommend up-
dating to the latest version of Python (which might also
have a more efficient memory-management), unless the script
you're using is written in a way that makes it incompatible
with newer versions. (In the latter case I would rather
fix the script.)
Best regards
Oliver
