apt-get pukes



I'm running woody/testing/unstable and when I try to update or install,
I get the following errors.

Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room

E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

What is intersting is that it dies at different places in the package
list each time.

I should tell you that the system had been installed on an athlon 650
MHz box and I simply moved the disks and other peripherals onto a Duron
box. I'm hoping this is not a problem.
