Gilbert, > I filed a bug with Fedora Core 7 for this kernel, which has been causing > weather.admin.niu.edu to occasionally crash: > > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=367141 Wow! That's a pretty bad bug. > But the programmers think that a program doing memory mapping is the > culprit. Hmmm. Look at the error message and references and see if the LDM > is any part of it. There's not enough information in the bug ticket for me to decide if the LDM is responsible. > I had my LDM ldmd.pq file set at 200 MB, which was > probably too small. Now it is set at 900 MB and is not crashing. > Weather2.admin.niu.edu was on this same kernel with a 900 MB ldm.pq file > size and did not crash. I suspect it is a small ldm.pq size causing this > now, but I can't confirm, but either way, it shouldn't crash your system > IF this is true. I agree. No user-space program should be able to crash the operating- system. Please keep me apprised. > ******************************************************************************* > Gilbert Sebenste ******** > (My opinions only!) ****** > Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** > E-mail: address@hidden *** > web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** > ******************************************************************************* Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: YJB-290157 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
