Theres nothing there that indicates the process failing. It will use more space as it needs it, up to its top limit, and will release space on request, and then will grab it back as it needs it again. So fluctuations are not unusual. If it was going up and down like a lunatic all the time that might be a bit interesting but steady changes upwards with dips back down here and there are not unusual. -- Robert Moir, MSMVP Senior IT Systems Engineer, Luton Sixth Form College Rules for sysadmins # 705: "If I am in any doubt as to how a wildcard will expand I will echo it first." -- This e-mail is intended for the addressee shown.
