Hi,
I have a curious problem with procmail.
Sometimes it is eating more and more memory leaving
the system with almost no memory (free memory ~ 224 k).
Then I get an error from the kernel "Unable to load interpreter",
i.e. "there is so few memory that even the ld-linux.so (the dynamic
loader)
cannot be loaded in memory, which makes it a bit difficult to run
anything :-("
Pentium 75
16Mg RAM
Redhat 5.2
kernel 2.0.36
Tia
please cc to me since I'm not on the list
