I am really excited about the new features and speed improvements that have been made. The only problem I seem to be having since upgrading from FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 is this... I have a single process, a Mud game, that runs under the uid of "mud", gid of "games". It seems to work okay, until the process eats up about 14MB of RAM, at which point it Seg-Faults. Under 1.1.5.1 it worked flawlessly. It seems to do much better if I run it as root, but it still seems to seg-fault at some point. I'm not sure exactly, but I'm guessing it may have something to do with a limit on the amount of ram per process, or the number of files per process. If anybody has any idea what may be causing this, please respond to this message. Is there any way to tell how many files a process has open? Have these limits changed since 1.1.5.1? I am running under TCSH 6.04, if that makes a difference. Is there some way of increasing these limits for a specific user? This machine pretty much does nothing else currently but run this game. 486/DX2-80 AMD w/32 MB 540MB IDE Disk SMC Elite Ultra Ethernet FreeBSD 2.0
