I was thinking of user limits. Check the "ulimit" command for a list of limits imposed on user processes. For example, my current open files limit is 1024. Are you opening files and not closing unneeded ones? A limit new to me is "signals pending". Might you be ignoring signals to avoid being killed? Maybe something is generating signals to your process and they queued until the limit was exceeded. jon -- Jon H.
