Here is the output from 'top' just > before it crashes: A single process is, by default, limited to a maximum of 512MB of data. It is almost certainly this limit you are running into. You can check the current limits with 'ulimit -a' To modify the limit you can recompile the kernel with MAXDSIZ set to the desired limit. Check LINT for details. There might also be some sysctl or loader tunable to change this but I am not sure. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
