Oops, you're right. Thank you for pointing this out. I mis-read the manual page for get/setrlimit and thought that the discussion about hard/soft limits only applied to RSS. This doesn't change the fact that 6MB is not enough VM for a large number of applications. In light of this, I would recommend changing the DFLDSIZ and DFLSSIZ parameters in /sys/i386/include/vmparam.h - even 8MB is *much* better than 6. --- David Greenman davidg%implode@percy.rain.com
