Debian byg 227621 (http://bugs.debian.org/227621) reports OOM problems processing /etc/group files with large lines.
The bug reporter notes that the OOM is avoided by opening a random file within the loop: >#!/usr/bin/perl > >while (my @gr=getgrent()) { > print $gr[0] . "\n"; > open(F,"</etc/passwd");close(F); >} >print "End\n" Any suggestions? --bod -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
