This appears to be a "mis-use" of a particular kernel memory allocation function that is used to reallocate a pool until it reaches the maximum size that that particular function is capable of allocating. I don't recall the details at the moment however. The bug in redhat's bugzilla has a pretty good accounting IIRC. b. -- My other computer is your Microsoft Windows server. Brian J. Murrell
