I said "only" because I have the line :memoryuse-cur=64M:\ in the default section of the /etc/login.conf file which restrict the memory usage of common processes. fyi, I'm running FreeBSD 4.1-RC but this problem is probably not OS dependent. I try to restart it, but that's freeze my machine ! no panic, no nothing :( imho, this message is subject to a "Ports Security Advisory".
