What do you mean by 'runs out of memory'? Do you get messages from the OOM killer as it slays processes in an attempt to free memory? If not, I would submit that you are not running out of memory. Linux will use all available free memory for cache and buffers, but this does not mean that it is "out of memory", since the memory used by cache and buffers can (and will) be reclaimed by the kernel as it is needed. -- Nathan Poznick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The job of the poet is to render the world-to see it and report it without loss, without perversion.
