Uhm, since that limits the size of memory that named can use, have you tried increasing it? I agree that a new kernel shouldn't cause it to puke unless there's something wrong with the way RAM is being allocated in the kernel (or the limit is actually being enforced in the new kernel and it wasn't in the older ones). It'd be interesting if you had a top report of the memory usage of named under the old kernel and the new kernel (with the directive disabled), just to see what the memory footprint differences are. Might point toward something interesting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Money can't buy happiness, but it can take the sting out of being - - miserable! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
