Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi... Can someone tell me what the following error message pertains to? > nroff -mandoc /usr/local/pgsql/man/manl/copy.l | less free(58808) bad block. (memtop = 72800 membot = 537ac) My first thought was a bad block on my hard drive, except that originally I saw it when running a different program/script, but if I run it now, I don't get the error anymore. kernel is compiled/installed as of Apr 14th source tree, and I never saw the error prior to this new kernel...
