I can't reproduce this - I guess it's a misconfiguration on your side (check your ulimits and quota, for example).
isn't WORKSFORME the correct "Resolution"? That you can't reproduce it doesn't mean that it's not a bug :]
Ok, you can stop fighting now ;-). The issue can stay at resolved as it was in fact a ulimit problem (probably set by Bastille but I have no idea why...): [root@sonia /etc]# ulimit -a core file size (blocks) 1000000 data seg size (kbytes) unlimited file size (blocks) 40000 max memory size (kbytes) unlimited stack size (kbytes) 8192 cpu time (seconds) unlimited max user processes 100 pipe size (512 bytes) 8 open files 1024 virtual memory (kbytes) 2105343 Thanks and sorry for the bother!
Hehe, good catch, Bero :-]
