Here is a bit of strace when the problem happens: <Error> old_mmap(NULL, 536875008, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x8a767000 munmap(0x53301000, 927358976) = 0 mremap(0x43300000, 268439552, 536875008, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x43300000 munmap(0x8a767000, 536875008) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 1854717952, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory) brk(0x78692000) = 0x9dc6000 old_mmap(NULL, 1854717952, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory) old_mmap(NULL, 1854717952, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory) write(2, "\n", 1) = 1 write(2, "GLib", 4) = 4 write(2, "-", 1) = 1 write(2, "ERROR **: ", 10) = 10 write(2, "could not allocate 1854716080 by"..., 35) = 35 write(2, "\naborting...\n", 13) = 13 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [ABRT], NULL, 8) = 0 write(1, "efore\nimpl_event = command_befor"..., 194) = 194 kill(9999, SIGABRT) = 0 --- SIGABRT (Aborted) --- </Error> Also, something interesting here is that my system swaps itself to death, that is of course until sigabrt is reached. I consider this a serious security bug. On Thu, 2002-05-02 at 17:11, Bruce Mallett wrote:
