Jonathan,
Your comment about ulimit was actually pretty helpful. There were some
pretty harsh limits in /etc/security/limits.conf which I have commented
out. Now it appears to be working. So in future you might try "ulimit
-a" as investigative tool for these issues. I'll let you know if I have
any more problems, but if not please close this ticket.On 31/05/11 19:43, Jonathan Nieder wrote: > Nicholas Bamber wrote: > >> Trickier than you make it sound since once it has happened I cannot >> start "top".
