The file has 34000 entries and was working fine untill yesterday. Now it processes about 29K then dies with the error. I ran vmstat while it was rebuilding and saw avail memory drop to about 300, and swap space to about 60% available. Should of have had plenty of swap to finish. I was running a MFS mounted /tmp, but removed that. No help there. Any help would be appreciated. System Info: BSDI 2.1 Generic 16Mb real and 48 Mb swap memory /tmp as ln -s /usr/tmp (600 MB available on /usr partition) sendmail 8.7.5 Regards, Mike Spinn.
