Anyhow, if I start more than 6 or so telnet sessions, the last one locks up and attempts to run anything else results in a "mmap failure: 12", an incredibly helpful error message as you can see. It also affects attempts to log in via console, so a power-off-on reboot is the only recovery. I also came in this morning and found it in this state when noone had been accessing the machine all night except for ftp. A look with top right before the lockup shows over 38 megs of free RAM. Our 2.1.5 systems have never exibited this kind of problem. Can someone give me some ideas on what is going wrong here?
