Hey All!
One of our developers was running out of real memory in his app.
Top showed plenty of memory free so he wrote a little test program that
ran malloc() until it couldn't anymore.
It got to about 130MB in total including the program itself and then
fell over.
If either of us types ulimit<CR> when logged in as ourselves rather than
root it just says unlimited.
The machine has 1GB physical RAM and 3GB swap.
Cheers all & TIA,
