Hi, Every time a cron job runs it produces the output: CRON in malloc(): warning: pointer to wrong page. which gets mailed to root. I searched the archives but didn't come up with anything. Nothing seems to produce that error when run interactively. We're running 3.3-STABLE from November the 29th on an IBM 686 200 with 32MB RAM and an IDE drive. On a probably related matter we had a lot of processes die with signal 4 (one or two a day). We swapped the RAM and I thought it had stopped but one died yesterday (telnetd). Previously running make index in /usr/ports would always die with sig4 but since the RAM swap its been fine... Any suggestions? I assume sig4 indicates that there is corruption in either the memory, cache or bus but I have no idea why or what causes the CRON error.
