1. I keep getting a strange error-mesage on the console: "m_expand returning 0". Anyone knows what it means? 2. In /usr/lib/big there are versions of cpp, c0, c1, as, ld and optim. cc -B /usr/lib/big/ works fine for programs that are so large that I get symbol table overflow. But I can't find any documentation. Does anyone know what the differens is between these files and the normal /lib/cpp etc.? -- =============================================================================== Per Foreby Dept of Applied Electronics perf@tde.lth.se Lund Institute of Technology, Lund, Sweden ===============================================================================

Page 6-17 of A/UX Release Notes 1.0 - Someone tried to allocate mbuf buffers twice. Also caused when the IPC code cannot get additional memory for buffers. Add physical memory or reduce use. We get the error all the time when using rlogin or telnet while also having ftp connections open. >2.

That's exactly what they're for--programs too big for the standard cpp c0 c1 etc. aem a.e.mossberg - aem@mthvax.miami.edu - aem@mthvax.span (3.91) Support the international boycott against South Africa!

When I set up the systems, I did go through the procedure on page 2-3 of the A/UX Release Notes for a 4mb system (increse NBUF,NINODE, and NFILE). According to the kconfig man page (on-line), you should start allocating using the formula (8192*#nfs_daemons)/240 which gives for our system 136. ??? According to 'kconfig -a' we have 500 allocated. I'll try increasing it to 800 and see if that helps any.
