I believe OpenBSD ships with strict limits on memory that a process can allocate, perhaps you’re bumping into them? You can check amount of memory allowed with: $ ulimit -d (the output is in kilobytes) Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with OpenBSD enough to know how to reconfigure the limits, but I think it’s done in /etc/login.conf: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man5/login.conf.5?query=login%2econf&sec=5 -- Dmitry Chestnykh Coding Robots http://www.codingrobots.com (Resending this to list as well)
