I looked at this some more, and it appears that the thing reading the pointers is getting the values from the same physical page as some heap data structures. It looks like a big chunk of contiguous linked list nodes, so when a random piece of data was accessed there was a good chance it was a

I don't have the code in front of me, but I'm guessing there's a constant you can increase if you really need more stack space. Note that it's a stack issue and not a heap issue, so the problem is probably either an infinite recursion or a large local array and not anything to do with malloc.

Malloced storage is placed on the heap, not the stack. There is a constant near the fatal that you can change, but normally this error means that there is infinite recursion or it could mean you're trying to allocate a large array (multiple megabytes) on the stack. Ali On Jan 27, 2009,

I created a lighttpd one that transfers large files only, but it never made it into M5 (nor can it because of licensing issues from the components it's based on). I never fixed apache. Ali On Jan 27, 2009, at 11:40 PM, nathan binkert wrote: I've never heard of the webnew benchmark. I

There are three possibilities here: a) A kernel bug b) a device model/driver bug c) a checkpointing bug (as it relates to (b)) What kernel version are you using? Could you put the ethernet trace somewhere so I could look at it? Ali I am using the kernel 2.6.18 with M5 patches. I
