Our pathalias program began crashing the other day. Running it manually I
recevied the following fatal error message:
pathalias: out of memory (33744k allocated); notify the authorities
> read 33.7MB <
Our map directory has 243 maps and occupies 3607383 bytes of disk space
The old paths database is 1133904 bytes.
Were running version 9.1 (87/10/04) of pathalias.
We have 48MB of memory on our Encore Multimax 510.
Cron typically runs the build_paths script in the early am.
It appears to take about an hour to run and then it dies from lack of memory.
Questions:
Is there a newer version of pathalias?
Does the newer version handle memory allocation any differently?
Is my pathalias stuck in a loop and consuming memory without bound?
(This would be my guess.)
I'll be running it today with the verbose option to see some stats, if I get
any, and checking out the source code.
Thanks for any advice.

if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic!"

Next time I'll read the news before posting my problems. Sorry about that.
