Hello! I think, mentioned below program probably show the bug in virtual memory subsystem in FreeBSD-3.2-RELEASE. After running this program, FreeBSD comes into "out of swap" state, then hungs.
Why i think this is bug? Because any user can hung FreeBSD, settings in /etc/login.conf can't help. Note: in FreeBSD-2.2.8 there is no this problem. The 2.2.8-system successfully kill this program. -------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define NALLOC 1000 #define SIZEALLOC 1024*1024 void main() { char *p_mem; int i, j; if (fork() != 0) return; for (i=0; i<NALLOC; i++) { p_mem = (char *)malloc(SIZEALLOC); for (j=0; j<SIZEALLOC; j++) { p_mem[j] = 0; } } while (1); } -------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S. Sorry for my English... Good luck, Alec To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
