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?
