Is perl being started by one qmail users (qmails, qmaill, etc)?
with ulimit added to .qmail file:
deferral:
time(seconds)_unlimited
/file(blocks)_unlimited
/data(kbytes)_unlimited
/stack(kbytes)_2097148
/coredump(blocks)_unlimited
/nofiles(descriptors)_1024
/memory(kbytes)_2048
/time(seconds)_unlimited
/file(blocks)_unlimited
/data(kbytes)_2097148
/stack(kbytes)_8192
/coredump(blocks)_unlimited
/nofiles(descriptors)_64
/memory(kbytes)_2048
/ld.so.1:_/usr/bin/perl:_fatal:_/usr/lib/libc.so.1:_mmap_failed:
_Not_enough_space/preline:_fatal:_child_crashed/
there is only one limit set in the qmail startup script:
ulimit -v 2048
Should I just change it to unlimited?
thanks
