If your system supports mmap() (and yours does), CVS tries to map the RCS file into memory so that it can access it directly rather than having to use normal I/O to read it in bits and pieces, because using mmap() is much more efficient. In your case, the mmap() call is failing with ENOMEM -- you may want to check the mmap() man page or ask for advice in an OS-specific group about possible causes and solutions. I'm working on a patch to allow CVS to fall back on normal I/O if mmap() fails, but there are some tricky bits and it will likely take a little while to complete. -Larry Jones Oh, now YOU'RE going to start in on me TOO, huh? -- Calvin _______________________________________________ info-cvs mailing list info-cvs@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
