Dear Colleagues,

I have a problem with Xterm when it is started by startx.
It exits with "memory fault" message and the system prints,
that the process exited on signal 11. That is fragmentation
error. If I run it as "xdm -nodaemon", everything is going 
well. I have a system with 8 Mb RAM.

Could anybody tell me how should I recompile kernel to avoid
such a problem. It concerns not only Xterm, but for example
FWTK FTP daemon, when it begins to work.
 
I think there is something wrong with memory allocation.
As I tried on 16 Mb RAM system, everything was good, also
GENERIC kernel on 8Mb worked good too, which looks strange 
at all, because the current kernel is much smaller.

Thanks in advance.
A.Yu. Olevanov
