256MByte is awfully limited these days. Adding more RAM might help. Maybe you are starting too many slaves? Maybe try it with MX_MAXIMUM=2. Also enabling embeded perl might help save some memory. I'd seriously consider upgrading the available RAM to like 4GByte. -- Jan-Pieter Cornet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> !! Disc lamer: The addressee of this email is not the intended recipient. !! !!
