As far as I can understand lines containing 'Call Trace' are printed in trap.c in show_trace function. Does anyone know what this thing can mean, and how to found a real reason? Problem is that on this machine I have install 2.3.2-ac26 + Morton's patch to allow very large processes not be killed when there are not reused pages in swap, etc. My sci advisor have real problem as his process beying killed when reached 960Mb. There is 256Mb of RAM in machine, and 1.5Gb of swap... It looks like it is again a problem with kernel does not use all possibilities before kill a process. And what worries me is that I found mentioned above lines in kernel log. -- Sincerely Yours, Denis Perchine ---------------------------------- E-Mail: dyp@perchine.com HomePage: http://www.perchine.com/dyp/ FidoNet: 2:5000/120.5 ---------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
