I did not mention it but I was using ccache and distcc with 3 machines (problem box included). I used to have 512MB of memory in this system but I had to rob 256MB for my server because one stick fried in it. I would buy more memory but my current job situation will not allow it. Oh, and I know better. It's just one of those problems I don't deal with that often and, when things go awry, I don't recognize it off the bat. However, I do know what to look at when problems occur. The only reason it took me a while to figure out what was going wrong is I didn't really care to look into the problem and left it for later. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
