i get malloc fails inside script files. i don't have the scripts handy here but would like some clues anyway. i have a set of scripts using netpbm, to do a series of graphic file conversions. after upgrading from FreeBSD 2.2.2 to 2.2.5 these scripts fail - conversions don't work always - but sometimes do. small files always work, large files fail 2/3 of the time. i have 'ulimit' in the sh script. yes, i have changed MAXDSIZ from 128meg to 512 meg, but the gif files in question are all smaller than .5meg. yes, i have recompiled the netpbm tools. none of these changed the poor behavior of the scripts in question. yes, i will send the scripts if someone want a look. henryt
