Of course, at this point, it is far from out of memory like it has been in the past.

That was my first thought, yes. However, when it has run out of memory, even the slab totals were low (my first post showed only about 60 MB in slab). -- Bruce Guenter <[email protected]> http://em.ca/~bruceg/ http://untroubled.org/ OpenPGP key: 699980E8 / D0B7 C8DD 365D A395 29DA 2E2A E96F B2DC 6999 80E8
