I have a machine which I have recently upgraded using cvsup, from 4.x
to RELENG_5, as a staging post en route to 7.x. The upgrade went well
until installworld ran out of disk on / and I realised it was only
64BMB. My bad; should have checked before upgrading. With help from

Just GENERIC.
By the way, the need to set kern.maxdsiz - for really big processes -
doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. I could have sworn it used to

the dmesg and syslog.conf. Any suggestions?
(yes, I know this is 6.2-RELEASE; I'm partway through cvsupping; the
failure was under 6.2p11).
Thanks in advance,

I'm failing to understand how getrusage() works, which is a bit perplexing,
because it doesn't seem like it would be terribly complicated.
ru_maxrss is the maximum resident set size, not the heap size.
malloc(big) doesn't grow the resident set.

anyone recommend virtualizing software for FreeBSD? I don't mind
having to pay, as long as it really works.
I see that VMWare, for instance, is not supported on FreeBSD.
I'm running 4.9-RELENG at the moment, but considering an upgrade to
5.x.

Plainly, GCC should generate code which fills the array with zeroes.

Looking at your examples, it seems you divide by 1e5, not by 1000. In
other words, buildworld is CPU bound and takes about 6e12 clock
cycles. Use -jnproc.
