I'm hoping someone might be able to provide some insight. When I got back from lunch today, I found a few console messages on my connection to my server running 2.2.8-Stable (from cvsup about 2 weeks ago), like this: Message from syslogd@trixie at Fri May 28 13:52:14 1999 ... trixie May 28 13:52:08inetd[: /etc/spwd.db Message from syslogd@trixie at Fri May 28 13:52:14 1999 ... trixie May 28 13:52:08inetd[: ftp Message from syslogd@trixie at Fri May 28 13:56:07 1999 ... trixie May 28 13:56:07named[: qnew: calloc failed and then found my nameserver and webserver dead. I rebooted the machine and 10 minutes later, it crashed again. Reboot. Then crashes again. Reboot again. I did get to download the messages file and after the first reboot found this in the messages file (which is just filled with May 28 14:49:22 trixie /kernel: pid 1302 (httpd), uid 50: exited on signal 11 messages): May 28 14:35:30 trixie named[675]: Ready to answer queries.

The machine is PII-233, Asus P2L97S MB, 128 MB ram, 141 MB swap space, 4.5GB Barracuda HD running basic web server functions. Apache is 1.3.4 and sendmail is 8.9.2 df -i shows: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on /dev/sd0s1a 4168505 3157871 677154 82% 169750 844008 17% / procfs 4 4 0 100% 44 4072 1% /proc so it seems I have plenty of room for the swap. I checked the archives and saw that swap should be slightly more than RAM, which it is, but can't seem to find out why this is happening. Does anyone have an idea.
