Well I actually meant 512M, but that is a huge back-seat to 2546M for
$30. *heh*

FWIW, I just picked up 2546M of PC2100 DDR for $30 locally.  Quantity 1 
per day per customer, but it was enough for me.  newegg has it for 
$42 plus $5 shipping.  mwave's a bit cheaper.  buy.com starts at $46.

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.

While I am not as extreme as my esteemed college to suggest you run pine
or xfce, I will suggest that you kill Mozilla if it's running.  I
recently had a bad dimm so I went from 320M to 256M of ram, since then I
have had Evolution killed several times by the OOM Killer. [Terminator
of backward cattle.=) ]  I just shutdown mozilla, or restart it
frequently and that solved my problem.

I recommendation is get more memory.  It is pretty cheap, you can by
256M of PC2100 DDR for about 70.00 now, or at least, I can.  Look about
the country side.

Doesn't matter how much (or little) swap you have. What matters is how 
much free memory you have, including swap. If you run out, you run out. 
There's no magic number.

Take a look at top or procinfo. If you're close to maxing out your swap
space, you have issues. Either add more RAM, more swap, or limit your
memory consumption (e.g. run xfce instead of kde, or pine instead of
Evolution).

You can add a swap file instead of a new swap partition if you can't 
reallocate your partitions. Read the mkswap man page for instructions on 
creating a swap file inside an existing file system.

Hmm.. swap is 512 MB (twice the RAM), which I thought was OK. But thanks. I 
just want to make sure that nothing 'weirds" are going on with my machine.

Looks like you need to add more swap space to avoid running out of memory.

Can you split the ldif file into several? I doubt there's only one
dn entry in that file.
FWIW, I usually import ldif entries in a LDAP server with the ldapadd
program, which you'll find in the openldap-clients rpm.

I recall reading on the OpenLDAP FAQ that ldif2ldbm is more error-prone
than ldapadd. Maybe slapadd has the same issues.
