Thanks for the tips. I infact runs fvwm as win manager. In general, I've never had any trouble with kernel out of memory. It was just that one instance during deleting big IMAP e-mail with Kmail that I saw that message. I guess I was just surprised that it start killing other processes, seemingly at random, while running out of memory. I heard also that Kmail IMAP support is not that great, so that could be part of the problem. -RDB -- ------------------------------------------------- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign against HTML \ / email and proprietary format X attachments. / \ ------------------------------------------------- Have you been used by Microsoft today?
