The thrashing occured again, and I managed to catch it in time this time. Turns out it wasn't Netscape, but related -- xfstt (v0.9.10) was wigging out. It must have made a deal with the devil; kill -9 wouldn't end its miserable existence. I now do ulimit -m 65536 before I start xfstt. Is there a What-To-Do-When-A-Process-Grows-Insanely-Huge Mini-FAQ? ;-) Be careful out there... --- Woody Carey <wcarey@wcarey.com> wrote: > > I have seen this a well, on 3.2-R, either running > netscape or > even just mpg123: > > $ mpg123 -b2048 /cdrom/*.mp3 > > After a while, I cannot even ever log in on the > console, I just have > to hit the switch. hmmm... ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
