If the memory use of the program grows at all over time(either through leaks or simply from the nature of the program), then you could be creating an OOM(out of memory) situation. The kernel will then attempt to free up resources. It uses a number of checks to see which processes to kill, but if your app doesn't have a low PID, isn't being run by root, and is taking up 99.999% of the memory, I imagine it'd be the first on the list ;) -- .--=====-=-=====-=========----------=====-----------=-=-----=. / David Barclay Harris Aut agere, aut mori. \ \ Clan Barclay Either action, or death. / `-------======-------------=-=-----=-===-=====-------=--=----'
