Hello Mark, Thanks for the hint about old discussion. Unfortunately, there was no solution to this issue mentioned. I found out that this was already reported to debian, I wonder whetrher the maintainer forwarded the bug report upstream. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=871921 This is on 64-bit Linux, so mmap should not be limited to 2 GB. And I also have noticed the extreme increase in squat file sizes. -- Best Regards Vladislav Kurz ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus
