I'm not sure if this is a problem with the superformat program from
the fdutils package or with malloc under libc6 or with my kernel but
I get errors from superformat saying it cannot allocate memory when
there is a lot of memory available.
bash-2.01$ superformat -d /dev/fd0
Formatting cylinder 0, head 0 format: Cannot allocate memory
bash-2.01$ cat /proc/meminfo
total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:

Am I misinterpreting that error message?
I have the 5.2pl4-2 fdutils package installed, a 2.0.33 kernel, and
libc6 version 2.0.6-3 on a hamm system.
Other programs don't seem to have problems with memory allocation.
