The worst case failure with my "Ugly patch" should be that things hang, and quit running completey. If you could save a "vmstat -m" periodically, approaching the problem this may help us identify where the memory is going, e.g. the output from running this script: #!/bin/sh INTERVAL=20 while true do for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 do vmstat -m > vmstatlog.$i sync sleep ${INTERVAL} done done -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
