Grrr. It seems that if you hit 75% of available memory usage while in the malloc() at the beginning of init_strings, build_uninit_string() gets called with current_string_pos still NULL. Result: bus error. Of course, this shouldn't be happening, not with 8meg of RAM in the machine. Increasing my MAXUMEM to the maximum value hasn't helped. There's another bug lurking somewhere, maybe in the kernel's ulimit implementation(). eric@snark.uu.net = eric%snark@uunet.uu.net --> Eric S. Raymond
