That's a bug in ircd, and you'd have to dive into the source to fix it. The standard workaround for memory leaks is to restart the leaky program every so often - which it's doing for you already. If it's not a memory leak, then you need to give ircd more memory. In that case, you should check to see what limit's its got now, and whether you can raise that (with ulimit) before it runs. If worst comes to worst, you'll need to build a kernel with MAXDSIZ raised so you can give it more memory. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
