To: stable@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Thu, 16 Apr 1998 14:43:28 -0300 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL32 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk I'm not sure if this is a known problem, but today I noted that at least one of my -stable systems panics when a process try to alocate too much memory. I've made a program to print the ammount of memory alocated and initialized (calloc) while it's alocating. In that machine, with 40M RAM (25 M free before running this program, as told by top) and 64M swap, the system panics with page fault while in kernel running pagedaemon, after alocating about 50M. Has somebody else seen this ? I know that I can reserve more space to swap to aleviate the problem, that's not the question here.
