Greetings,
I'm trying to write a filter for a Linux system using x-talk rather than C, Perl, etc .. and I am running out of memory. My mc interpreter is failing with s signal 11 and giving this message:
/usr/local/bin/mc: out of memory
The problem is I suppose due to the size of the data file I'm trying to process in a single container - it's nearly 800 Meg. Files almost as large make it ok though.
I am hoping maybe a newer version would help, or, switch to the Rev engine. This is on SuSE Linux. You might ask, which version of the MC interpreter do you have? Ah .. not sure, it appears to have been installed April 2003 .. the size is:
1889896 Apr 18 2003 /usr/local/bin/mc
Another option might be to rewrite my filter in some more efficient manner. I'll probably try that approach too, I have a couple ideas.
In any case, I'd appreciate your thoughts if you have a suggestion. Source code below.
