You are using the most extreme compression setting, which requires about 674 MB per thread according to the xz(1) man page. This causes you to bump against the data size limit (ulimit -d, see ksh(1)). You need to raise the limit or use a less greedy compression setting. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
