Potato with alzheimers
Memory question / concern,
First off, I am running a bleeding edge potato box and know that I will
get bitten more than once ;-) I just had the strangest thing happen, I
was on vc5 when everything just sorta stopped (interactive wise) but the
dis activity went into overdrive. I also had a bunch of X apps running.
Then all kinds of programs and my ppp got killed. several messages
popped up stating such-n-such out of memory.
System config
Potato box built from scratch not yet 4 days old,
Kernel 2.2.10
486 dx2 66Mhz
32 MB
64 MB swap
(lots of fun to see just how far I can drive this dino :-)
I have seen mentioned memory leaks in a couple of messages but nothing
exact. Have I been bitten by a memory hole in the kernel? I have never
had this happen before on my slink system, even running mem hogs like
star office and netscape and xemacs simultaneously. Things are still
working but I don't relish the idea of it happing again. Any thoughts
would be greatly appreciated. TIA,
