It depends what you mean by "harmless". The kernel tried to allocate swap space for a process and failed. The kernel tries to recover by killing the largest process (which should also be syslog'd). I'm surprised that you got this on the "rm" as the buildworld should create bigger processes. If the "rm" was killed, you will need to re-issue it to actually delete the files. -- Peter Jeremy _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
