Charlie, Just wondering if you could shed some light on some results?
When I run memtester, before all the tests get run, the log fills up with hundreds of these types of lines: @400000003f7a5a4e2a552e5c memtest v. 2.93.1 @400000003f7a5a4e2a55556c (C) 2000 Charles Cazabon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> @400000003f7a5a4e2a5568f4 Original v.1 (C) 1999 Simon Kirby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> @400000003f7a5a4e2a558064 @400000003f7a5a4e2a5a04a4 Current limits: @400000003f7a5a4e2a5a182c RLIMIT_RSS 0xffffffff @400000003f7a5a4e2a5a23e4 RLIMIT_VMEM 0xffffffff @400000003f7a5a4e2a5a3384 Raising limits... @400000003f7a5a4e2d612254 Unable to malloc 458227712 bytes. @400000003f7a5a4e2d61b2dc Unable to malloc 457179136 bytes. @400000003f7a5a4e2d61c664 Unable to malloc 456130560 bytes. @400000003f7a5a4e2d624f1c Unable to malloc 455081984 bytes. @400000003f7a5a4e2d6262a4 Unable to malloc 454033408 bytes. @400000003f7a5a4e2d62f32c Unable to malloc 452984832 bytes. @400000003f7a5a4e2d6302cc Unable to malloc 451936256 bytes. @400000003f7a5a4e2d639354 Unable to malloc 450887680 bytes. @400000003f7a5a4e2d63a2f4 Unable to malloc 449839104 bytes. @400000003f7a5a4e2d64337c Unable to malloc 448790528 bytes. @400000003f7a5a4e2d64c7ec Allocated 447741952 bytes...trying mlock...failed: insufficient resources. @400000003f7a5a4e2d6a6954 Allocated 446689280 bytes...trying mlock...failed: insufficient resources. @400000003f7a5a4e2d6f89d4 Allocated 445636608 bytes...trying mlock...failed: insufficient resources. @400000003f7a5a4e2d7467ec Allocated 444583936 bytes...trying mlock...failed: insufficient resources. @400000003f7a5a4e2d793e34 Allocated 443531264 bytes...trying mlock...failed: insufficient resources. @400000003f7a5a4e2d7e33bc Allocated 442478592 bytes...trying mlock...failed: insufficient resources. @400000003f7a5a4e2d832944 Allocated 441425920 bytes...trying mlock...failed: insufficient resources. @400000003f7a5a4e2d87ff8c Allocated 440373248 bytes...trying mlock...failed: insufficient resources. But after that all the tests run fine? @400000003f7a5ef42440828c 1 runs completed. 0 errors detected. So is there a problem or not? I read the readme.tests and it said: There is also a test (Stuck Address) which is run first. It determines if the memory locations the program attempts to access are addressed properly or not. If this test reports errors, there is almost certainly a problem somewhere in the memory subsystem. Results from the rest of the tests cannot be considered accurate if this test fails: Stuck Address But this test does not fail, still all those errors does not look good! Help please!
