I asked this question a week or two ago and got a couple of suggestions, but none of the suggestions I have received seem to do the trick. I'm running FreeBSD-2.2.6 on a P150 with 64 MB RAM. My hard drive is set up with a 256 MB swap partition and a couple of GB of file system space. I'm running WindowMaker for my window manager. When I run Netscape Navigitor 3 I am able to receive mail just fine, but when I try to send mail I get an error message telling me "Netscape is out of memory. Try quiting some other applications or closing some windows". When this happens I usually have one of two xterms open with Netscape. Just for chuckles I've also tried it without any xterms open - nothing running but Netscape and the window manager. Seems kind of unlikely that I would have actually run out of memory - top says I've got 177M free swap space, and says "Mem: 29M Active, 14M Inact, 12M Wired, 4972K Cache, 7639K Buf, 544K Free". I'm not sure what the "Wired" and "Inact" counts mean. So help me understand here - am I truly running out of memory, or do I have something misconfigured somewhere? D.
