OK, but my problem is that when I detect an "offending" process (using too much memory), it's already too late ! The strace will only show mmaps until "[crit] Memory allocation failed" ! Do you have a suggestion on how I could "intercept" these processes before the problem happens ?
rlimit maybe. I'd suggest something is trying to allocate a 'negative' amount of memory. The real answer is to locate the bug. If you really want to do that, build/install debug versions of your s/w, attach gdb to the running process, and ask for a backtrace. -- Alex Bligh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
