Hi, I'm running Zope under FreeBSD 4. Zope keeps getting memory errors, i.e. malloc() fails. But top reports lots of inactive memory available. I'm new to BSD, but I did search around in archives and I think I learned that inactive memory is only kept around in case it is needed again and should be given to a process needing it. So why does Zope fail here? Douwe Osinga http://www.world66.com
