New submission from Håkan Waara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I'm using the standard lib SimpleXMLRPCServer to receive a file from a client. The file is sent using an instance of the xmlrpclib.Binary class.
Whenever the file is bigger than a few MB, the server reports spews out an internal error to stderr: Python(13950) malloc: *** mmap(size=9916416) failed (error code=12) *** error: can't allocate region *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug This *only* happens if the client and server are not the same machine; i.e., connecting and sending to "localhost" always works. Attached testcase: * test_server.py opens a server on port 8001 waiting to receive a blob of data over HTTP. * Modify test_client.py to point at a big file, and then connect to the server machine, and you will ses the error. I'm running OS X-bundled Python 2.5.1 on OS X 10.5.2 ---------- messages: 67018 nosy: hwaara severity: normal status: open title: "error: can't allocate region" from mmap() when receiving big chunk of data versions: Python 2.5 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2901> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
