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.
