"Signal 11 while compiling the kernel" "This FAQ describes what the possible causes are for an effect that bothers lots of people lately. Namely that a linux(*)-kernel (or any other large package for that matter) compile crashes with a "signal 11"." While I appreciate your suggestion, I don't think it is relevant in this case. This is happening on a machine (IBM x335) that has never crashed, nor had any process exit under similar circumstance, in two years of continuous operation (and I have complied the whole system, kernel included, several times without error). I too have seen bad hardware do some strange things, but I doubt that is the case here. Follow-up: I stopped and restarted the parent clamav-milter process. Virus laden emails continue to be happily rejected, and with no more "clamav-milter exited on signal 11" syslog errors (so far). I will monitor this situation closely and report back as needed. -- Michael Lambert Systems Admin, IT Dept JEOL USA Inc http://www.jeol.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
