Doesn't non-paged memory usage _total_ have to be less than physical memory on the system? I don't know if there's some way this, or just a similar problem, might be applicable to apache: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936655 This problem occurs because the Afd.sys file may charge the quota to one Citrix process after the Citrix process allocates the nonpaged pool memory. Then, the quota is returned to another Citrix process after the Citrix process frees the nonpaged pool memory. When the nonpaged pool memory is allocated and then freed repeatedly, the quota that is allocated for the second time is a negative number. On a 32-bit system, this negative number is interpreted as a second Citrix process that uses 4 GB of nonpaged pool memory. -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
