No, I gave amanda the name nsa0.

There are no core files anywhere. Nothing from the taper. I'm so
confused. Here are the files amanda left:
amnesiac:263[/tmp/amanda]$ ls

amtrmlog.20010619140420.debug runtar.20010619140340.debug
And their outputs (the ones I didn't include in the first message...)

Oh, and one more:

I just noticed the Cannot allocate memory message. Could that be the
problem? If so, what do I do about it?
Thanks once again.
