I had seen those for about half a year on amd64/6 and sometimes it's not only 3 lines but a few hundred. Also 1G RAM here. For me also my backup runs during the hours this sometimes happens. Was was not able to track it down to one specific event. I tried to capture memory usage during that time but could not find anything (maybe I haven't checked correctly). In case you find out the casue of this I'd be happy to test changes:) /bz --=20 Bjoern A. Zeeb=09=09=09=09bzeeb at Zabbadoz dot NeT --0-1551029643-1179062163=:2939--
