Help! We have several dual pII 500's (Micron, 256MB mem) and they all do the same thing under 2.0.36 SMP. We try to run a pair of large (100+MB) jobs simultaneously - it works file. One of them ends and we try to start another similar job (after, say 30 seconds) and it fails immediately with a Seg Fault SOME of the time. Retry - still fail. After BOTH jobs have ended, now we can start another PAIR. Could this be a problem with linux giving too much mem to the greedy 1st job during that 30 seconds, so the 2nd can't start? Plenty of swap space left - why doesn't it just swap it out? Any reason to suspect a later kernel would handle it better?
