I'm trying to figure out why my processes die. The NeXT system is a 68040
with 16mb of ram, color display, 160mb SCSI drive with 80mb free NFS
mounted. I am running tcsh as my shell. The problem is that processes
I put in the background (by using &) will die after a time. I put a 
csh script file in the background that has an endless loop and after some
hours (varies) it will no longer be there. I have another program that
after many hours will start giving "vm_allocate" errors (a system error
message it seems as the author says that is not coming from his program)
when memory is requested and will die.

Can anyone suggest where I start looking for the source of this problem?
