My machine has been running for 15 days, no hardware modifications needed to bring it down ;-) No power failures ... No earthquakes :-) [glad to see you're OK, Thad & Scott!] Anyhow, I've been noticing a striking parallel with boot time and available memory. I've always run a pathalias on my machine in the morning. It's always worked (ie. enough memory)... Now I've been getting these messages... rehash into 2039 rehash into 3067 rehash into 5113 rehash into 8179 rehash into 13309 rehash into 21499 rehash into 34807 17611 vertices, 42312 edges allocation is 1424k after parsing *** mapping /usr/lbin/pathalias: out of memory (1532k allocated); notify the authorities What's strange ... I've seen this die when it's said something like: 2560k allocated (2.5MB...) But never 1.5MB! Could there still be a bug in the kernel, something not freeing up memory. Granted I have user processes, an extra daemon or two for STARLAN, but it should be able to allocate more memory. Nothing else was going on! I guess it's time to notify the authorities (AT&T) :-) -Lenny -- | Lenny Tropiano ICUS Software Systems [w] +1 (516) 589-7930 | | lenny@icus.islp.ny.us Telex; 154232428 ICUS [h] +1 (516) 968-8576 | | {ames,pacbell,decuac,hombre,sbcs,attctc}!icus!lenny attmail!icus!lenny | +------- ICUS Software Systems -- PO Box 1; Islip Terrace, NY 11752 -------+
