I haven't been able to get to happen when using "chroot /", but here's output from one of my sessions that did reproduce the "cannot allocate" problem: nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:~> chroot /view/nyap-tig-du nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:~> ls .Xdefaults .bashrc~ .inputrc aoeu~ proj/ .Xdefaults~ .clearcase_profile@ .inputrc-0 app-defaults/ tmp/ .bash/ .clearcase_profile~ .inputrc~ bin/ view/ .bash_history .emacs .saves-670-NYAP~ lisp/ .bashrc .emacs~ .viminfo msfe/ nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:~> cd /vobs nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:/vobs|nyap-tig-du> ls admin/ ds/ opt/ picms/ play/ stage/ tk/ cccq/ fastcmp/ pi/ picmsdemo/ rel/ tiga/ nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:/vobs|nyap-tig-du> cd ds /vobs/ds nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:/vobs/ds|nyap-tig-du> ls labmorgan/ lost+found/ tig/ nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:/vobs/ds|nyap-tig-du> cleartool pwv Working directory view: nyap-tig-du Set view: ** NONE ** nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:/vobs/ds|nyap-tig-du> ls bash: xmalloc: cannot allocate 3646 bytes (0 bytes allocated) nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:/vobs/ds|nyap-tig-du> ls labmorgan/ lost+found/ tig/ nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:/vobs/ds|nyap-tig-du> cleartool pwv Working directory view: nyap-tig-du Set view: ** NONE ** nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:/vobs/ds|nyap-tig-du> ls labmorgan/ lost+found/ tig/ nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:/vobs/ds|nyap-tig-du> mount d:\opt\Rational\ClearCase\4.0 on /usr/atria type user (binmode) d:\opt\Rational\ClearCase\4.0 on /view/nyap-tig-du/usr/atria type user (textmode) v:\nyap-tig-du on /view/nyap-tig-du/vobs type user (binmode) d:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode) d:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode) d:\cygwin on / type user (binmode) d:\cygwin on /view/nyap-tig-du type user (binmode) h: on /home/nyap type user (textmode) h: on /view/nyap-tig-du/home/nyap type user (textmode) v: on /view type user (binmode) c: on /%/c type user (binmode,noumount) d: on /%/d type user (binmode,noumount) f: on /%/f type user (binmode,noumount) g: on /%/g type user (binmode,noumount) s: on /%/s type user (binmode,noumount) t: on /%/t type user (binmode,noumount) u: on /%/u type user (binmode,noumount) z: on /%/z type user (binmode,noumount) Can you give me some hints as to how I can track this down any further, please?
