Summary: Un/Compress dies. Keywords: 386BSD compress uncompress bugs Message-ID: <1aj87tINN4cr@charnel.ecst.csuchico.edu> Date: 3 Oct 92 04:40:29 GMT Article-I.D.: charnel.1aj87tINN4cr References: <9RHsRB2w165w@tsoft.sf-bay.org> Distribution: world Organization: California State University, Chico Lines: 5 NNTP-Posting-Host: cscihp.ecst.csuchico.edu I have noticed that uncompress dies when doing very large ( 5mb ) files. I wonder if this could be related. It is not just the process that dies and leaves a core, it is the whole machine. Does anyone know anything about this? (please excuse me if this has already been answered earlier! :)
