I compiled xv-2.1 with gcc-1.39. I get into problems with malloc, I says Can't allocate memory for 'some routine name' . After this I get a core dump sometimes. With 3.00 and gcc 2.4.5 the problem remains although the exit is nicer. I have PK 2.3.4, 16MB RAM, >30MB Swap, 386/387 CPU. This works on a Sparc OK. Yes, and I know about 'limit'. I did limit -h or limit memoryuse unlimited. This is only a little help. By the way, did someone go around 'virtual memory exhausted' when compiling the fax stuff ? Thankfull for all hints ! Heiner
