- It means you've used up all of the virtual memory on your system.
- Since virtual memory exists in fantastic abundance, your process
- must be leaking memory like a sieve. Do all of your malloc's and
- frees match up?
-
- I suspect that edge is not leaking, it is the child of edge (the
- process being debugged, presumably your program) that is leaking.
