I don't think this is necessarily true. Today, if a kernel exceeds its allocation limits (runs out of memory) it gets killed. Doing the limiting at mmap() time instead of fault time will keep a sparse memory applications from even being able to run. Now, failing an mmap() is a wee bit more graceful than a SIGBUS, but it certainly introduces its own set of problems. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
