Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: odd INN behavior Date: 20 Nov 1996 17:02:58 -0800 Organization: ServNet Internet Services, Seattle, WA Lines: 18 Message-ID: <5709o2$r7h@itchy.serv.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: itchy.serv.net I've been having INN behave oddly. Every so often, it will fail on a realloc() call, citing "cannot realloc x bytes). x is usually in the range of 5-20 megabytes. This has been increasing as of late, but the distressing thing is the allocation failure ; at the times that it happens, there is usually 200-300 megabytes of swap available on the system, and it's failing on 15M allocations? Has aybody seen this? -- Sean T. Lamont, President / Chief NetNerd, Abstract Software, Inc.
