The kernel is generating malloc warnings! In the web server error_log file, I get the following message from access to the home pages, Malloc Warning: free(): already free page. This repeats itself at regular intervals, like ever time the index page is accessed? It seems to be then, but other times as well I suspect? Now the interesting thing is. It doesn't matter if I run Apache, or NSCA, in either ones error_log, I get the same message, so I assume it's KERNEL generated? I've looked in the LINT conf, can't see anything obvious that would control this, any ideas anyone? Bob -- The China House. Advertise, or there's a good chance the sheriff will do it for you.
