You are running out of memory for the application. Is it possible that your Mandriva has any default limits set for the applications? If you are not sure, post us the result of the ulimit command executed on console. (Guys, correct me if I am wrong with ulimit command). -- Manveru jabber: manv...@manveru.pl gg: 1624001 http://www.manveru.pl
