Hi Ruth, I suspect that the problem you are running into is not easily solvable. There is a per process swap limit, as well as a system wide swap limit. The per process limit, however, is hardwired into more kernel code than the system wide limit. In particular, it determines the maximum size of the page table for a process, since the in core memory map must be able to handle a process of this size if it is not swapped. If I recall correctly, this particular maximum is hard to change, especially if you do not have source. Sigh... Thanks, Richard Smith Smiddy@spam.istc.sri.com
