I am assuming you are using OS X, I belive that you said that before. There used to be memory allocation problems when DSN lookups were enabled on Mac OS X. This reminds me of those, though they were different error messages and the bugs are supposedly fixed. Do you have DNS lookups enabled?
That error is sort of saying that you are out of VM for that process, but that isn't a valid error code, and you shouldn't really run out of VM before using 2 Gig; which I very much doubt that you are using. I have seen bugs in OS X before where system calls returned invalid error codes. In all cases they are bugs you should report to Apple, not that that will help in the short run.

For example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system. -- Peter van der Linden, Expert C Programming, Deep C Secrets +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | TO UNSUBSCRIBE from this list: | http://lists.isite.net/listgate/analog-help/unsubscribe.html | | Digest version: http://lists.isite.net/listgate/analog-help-digest/ | Usenet version: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.analog.general | List archives: http://www.analog.cx/docs/mailing.html#listarchives +------------------------------------------------------------------------
