Hi,

we run 2.3.14 and we have one user with an enormous mailbox (not his INBOX!). It contains around 230,000 messages. We run squatter with a cronjob on all mailboxes. Recently this one mailbox has apparently become too big for squatter. When I try to squat it in verbose mode, it ends like this:

fatal error: Virtual memory exhausted

We will try to get this user to split this mailbox or to clean it up, but I wondered if there is something else we can do. The machine has ample amounts of memory, so I'm unsure why the call to malloc would fail ...
