I got the same problem with 2.4.6-2. When I built glibc 2.2 with parallel make, I got VM: killing process ld VM: killing process ld VM: killing process ld VM: killing process ld VM: killing process ld VM: killing process makeinfo VM: killing process makeinfo VM: killing process ld VM: killing process ld VM: killing process ld VM: killing process ld It is on a machine with 256MB RAM and 512 MB swap. When it happened, about 40 MB swap was used and load average was about 8. I had no problem with 2.4.5-10. Created attachment 24509 [details]
A glibc Makefile to trigger the VM bug.
I uploaded a Makefile for glibc which triggers the VM bug. It happens to me on UP machines with 96MB and 256MB RAM. Can I close this issue out? VM problems are lots better in the latest kernels aren't they. Please close it. It works fine now. |
When I rebuild glibc 2.2.3-13 rpm, I get VM: killing process makeinfo VM: killing process ld.so VM: killing process syslogd VM: killing process cc1 under 2.4.6-1. I have no problem with 2.4.5-10. It happens on 2 machines: # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 93172 89816 3356 0 58348 9980 -/+ buffers/cache: 21488 71684 Swap: 530104 7216 522888 # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 255124 244192 10932 0 18700 187232 -/+ buffers/cache: 38260 216864 Swap: 530104 10872 519232 I don't think memory is a problem.
