Any single malloc() call over the 32M boundry fails. Multiple smaller allocations are fine and swap fills up nicely. Although, I haven't tried multiple smaller allocations in the same application. I haven't look at any of the system code yet. Although I seem to remember that there's a system parameter for maximum segement size for break? Any pointers before i go digging. thanks, ...alan
