Gabor, Did you try the following? ln -s 'J' /etc/malloc.conf This will make malloc touch the bytes as it allocates them, and should cause it to realize it can't get the memory sooner. It will cause a slowdown for every program on the system that uses malloc, but perhaps it could at least solve the problem you are having. -- Fred Gilham gilham@csl.sri.com The spam folder --- you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.
