Here is the error I get when running trn3.6: ****** 35048 unread articles in misc.jobs.offered -- read now? [ynq] trn: out of memory! Caught an internal error--.newsrc restored The message is issued when I reply by either a space, or a y or a . My system is running 3.0-970522-SNAP, I have 128 meg of ram, and at time when I run trn, I have: {307root@sargon}# vmstat procs memory page disks faults cpu r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr s0 c0 w0 in sy cs us sy id 1 0 0 3718532 81356 35 0 0 0 35 171 2 0 0 155 443 45 3 1 97 You can see there are plenty of free pages!! {308root@sargon}# top 5 last pid: 9514; load averages: 0.01, 0.04, 0.06 06:55:44 35 processes: 1 running, 34 sleeping CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 100% idle Mem: 18M Active, 11M Inact, 15M Wired, 23M Cache, 8338K Buf, 56M Free <<<<<<<< Swap: 128M Total, 23M Used, 105M Free, 18% Inuse PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 302 jd 2 0 2116K 2392K select0 0:22 0.83% 0.83% xterm 271 root 2 0 5032K 7184K select0 13:02 0.59% 0.59% XF86_S 195 root 18 0 332K 136K pause 0 0:00 0.00% 0.00% cron 9514 jd 18 0 172K 32K pause 0 0:00 0.00% 0.00% sleep 9513 root 18 0 172K 32K pause 0 0:00 0.00% 0.00% sleep Notice the amount of freemem!!!! Also, notice that only 18% of swap is used!!! So why is trn failing to read the misc.jobs.offered newsgroup??? Best regards, Joe P.S.: Netscape mailer really screws up the character spacing, so if the output from the vmstat and top do not match the header labels, I did'nt do it :) :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
