Basically, your program (Frontpage) has exceeded it's VM limits, in all probability the data segment. You can increase the limits (as I have done on our Squid proxy server) by use of the 'limit/ulimit' command(s) and also by rebuilding your kernel with the following parameters- options "MAXDSIZ=536870912" #Maximum Data Segment size = 512MB options "DFLDSIZ=268435456" #Default Data Segment size = 256MB I believe that the 'default' Data Seg size is ONLY 128MB! > > This was with 2.1.6 on a PPro 166 (Intel Alder) 128M RAM If you increase the D-S size, also be prepared to allocate lots of swap space or nasty things will potentially happen to your system...
