Hello,
	1.I am trying to port an adaptive logic network program called atree
to 386bsd. It compiles fine but as soon as you run it, it stops and issues the
error message "out of memory". I know that without familiarity with the source
code tracking such a problem down is impossible, but could someone who has some
experience in both suns and 386bsd give me an idea on where to look as I am
conversant in c but not too familiar with the internal workings of *nix systems.

2.Another question is that when mailing locally mail.local came up with the
message "localhost: connection refused" so I found mail.local.c and in every
occurance of localhost (2) replaced it with gertrude, compiled it and the
messages went away. The question is have I done the right thing and if not what
should have happened.

3.The third question is why cant I disklabel floppys all I get is a message
device not configured from ioctl. I have run MAKEDEV fd0 fd1 and recompiled the 
kernel, but to no avail.

			Thanks for any help in advance,
