Reg, by experiment, I can reproduce the 'Killed' error
if I reduce the vmemoryuse limit. Have the default
limits changed between updates?
[root@dev1 ~]# cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int i[100000000];
main()
{
fprintf(stderr,"hello\n");
while (0 == 0) {}
}
[root@dev1 ~]# limit
cputime unlimited
filesize unlimited
datasize unlimited
stacksize unlimited
coredumpsize 0 kbytes
memoryuse unlimited
vmemoryuse 10240 kbytes
descriptors 1024
memorylocked 32 kbytes
maxproc 12286
[root@dev1 ~]# ./a.out
Killed
The coredumpsize limit of zero (default I think)
would also prevent coredumps
Cheers,
Terry.
