- I'm sure it's a limit problem. Use csh to set 'ulimit -h' (as root) and
- 'ulimit' or 'limit -h' / 'limit' to set a acceptable limit. Then start your
- make again (as child process of the csh process).
-
- This is a problem you will also find, if you try to start a XWindows program
- which needs large resources. Your application fails, but the reason is
- because your X (X386) was started with small limits.
