It might be running into a filesize limit with Mandrake 6.0 Keep in mind, that
the kernel in 6.0 is OLD.
I'd say the odds are you are right, it's filesize, but I dunno if an
upgrade will fix it or what. Sounds to me like he needs to follow up with
Mandrake or some linux group... it's not a bug, it's probably a known limit.
