It's at a random location, but it always happens after the build has been running for a few hours and when it's ended up swapping some processes out of main memory.

For example using the test program I allocate 500MB memory; 95MB swap gets used but after a few minutes I get: pid 470 (dhclient), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) pid 1002 (sendmail), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 1054 (sendmail), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 1104 (sendmail), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 1156 (sendmail), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 1207 (sendmail), uid 0: exited on signal 11 but my test program keeps running: 1227 v1 R+ 2:06.23 /usr/obj/home/brucec/test -- Bruce _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
