I need to process very large numbers ( up to 100,000) of imagefiles. I
noticed my foreach loops start crapping out when the number of files grows
near 1500. It feels like a 32bit memory addressing problem to me, but I
don't know how to check for that. I wrote a foreach loop to generate files
(0 to xxxx) and then list them and it died at 1471
here is an example of the problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/dobrin/longtest> ls flern* | wc
1471 1471 32726
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/dobrin/longtest> touch flern0001471.plern.poo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/dobrin/longtest> ls flern* | wc
2 [main] -tcsh 2396 cmalloc: cmalloc returned NULL
0 0 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/dobrin/longtest> rm flern0001471.plern.poo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/dobrin/longtest> ls flern* | wc
1471 1471 32726
I Currently am processing the files in batches of 1000 to avoid the problem.
I tried the same thing on my linux box and it works fine.
Thankyou
