Background: I think the message "Virtual memory exhausted" is coming from your operating system and not from the squatter process. Squatter would have been said switch (err) { case SQUAT_ERR_OUT_OF_MEMORY: fprintf(stderr, "SQUAT: Out of memory (%s)\n", s); break; So I think it is a Virtual Memory/Swap problem in your OS. -- Pascal Gienger University of Konstanz, IT Services Department ("Rechenzentrum") Electronic Communications and Web Services Building V, Room V404, Phone +49 7531 88 5048, Fax +49 7531 88 3739 ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
