Actually, it was an mmap call that failed. It was probably trying to write out a file, and failed because of no available disk space, while there could easily have still been available RAM. The size of 2.5 MB would fit for something like file_map.db. Unfortunately we can't really do much about how Tcl internally responds to resource allocation failures. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
