Help with diagnostic. This is the second time this has happened to me. Suddenly, evolution is consuming over a gb of memory, the hd is thrashing and the system is virtually hijacked. I was lucky enough to have a term open and 2 zombies are identified in top (which took five minutes to load). I do have a large (200mb) local message archive which, possibly, evo is indexing. It looked like this would continue until evo ate the entire swap file so I killed it. Any ideas on tracking this down? ________________________________________________________________________ Total Quality Management - A Commitment to Excellence http://www.TQMcube.com
