Hi there,

=20

I am running a fresh install of FreeBSD-6.1-Stable as a guest OS in
VMWare 1.0.1 with 1 GB of RAM.

=20

Whenever I try to grep a large text file (400 MB+), grep terminates with
"grep: memory exhausted"

=20

I have tried piping grep (cat "file" | grep "search term")

I have tried it with -line-buffered

=20

ulimit -a show:

core file size        (blocks, -c) unlimited

data seg size         (kbytes, -d) 524288

file size             (blocks, -f) unlimited

max locked memory     (kbytes, -l) unlimited

max memory size       (kbytes, -m) unlimited

open files                    (-n) 11095

pipe size          (512 bytes, -p) 1

stack size            (kbytes, -s) 65536

cpu time             (seconds, -t) unlimited

max user processes            (-u) 5547

virtual memory        (kbytes, -v) unlimited

=20

Any help?

=20

Thanks,

Sean
