I am curious about this. I recall when people first started using 64-bit perl saying that memory use ballooned much more than expected on some programs. I don't know if there was a bug that has been fixed or if those people just bought more RAM. >> So, I think it behooves you to figure out where these 10GB are being >> consumed... > > Yep.

He did say that the program was crashing - which was the real issue, and that excluding things fixed that. So I think we have enough to establish that there is a problem related to the size of the directory tree. But, with memory prices these days, I think if you know that you are short of memory, you also know an easy solution. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
