Hi,
I'm running RedHat 6.0 on a pentium 200 w/ 32 mb of ram and 60 mb of
swap space. The other day I was writing a program for a school assignment
that basically makes a list of random numbers and then sorts them. I told
it to run with a size of 5 million, and then I watched as it used up all
my swap space (I had xosview open) and my system stopped responding. I
tried switching out of X to one of the consoles, it wouldn't respond. I
tried telneting in to the machine, it wouldn't bring up the login prompt.
Do I have something set up wrong, or is it really this easy crash linux?
I wasn't logged in as root, and I had just compiled the program so it
shouldn't have been suid. What am I missing?
