Hi, Might be totally off here, but I noted your swap size is "large". Could it be that the cache has more objects (in count and in byte count ?) than can fit into a 32-bit counter ? I got to this by seeing that it crashes at the cache rebuild section as well as the fact the the build is i486. Like I said, might be *way* off but hey :) Cheers, Pieter On Tue, 09 Dec 2008 19:04:54 -0700, wh@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > Hello. > > I came across something weird.
