I'm on a tight deadline (made tighter by spending > 30hrs trying different FreeBSD installs, cvsups, etc), so going back to Beta4 and trying to figure out where it all went bad is my fall-back position. Currently, everything is running fine on Ubuntu 6 with no memory problems. Not my first choice, but, it is working, which is something my first choice is not doing :-7 Thanks again, Robert
