I think that is normal. Minor faults happen whenever the program is started and begin to allocate more memory. Unless you show us the whole code of the script, I don't know the detail of the problem, so probably you can check by yourself of the above possibility. BTW, it could be a sign of memory leak anyway... regards, Mulyadi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
