It is caused by an "improvement" to memory allocation that we put into Eclipse between 5.0 and 5.1, in connection with a shortcoming of the SunOS4 mmap() system call. The mmap() should not reserve swap space for all the 265 Mo but it does so on SunOS4. The problem does not occur on SunOS5 or Linux. You should be able to run Eclipse by specifying smaller stack sizes, e.g. eclipse -g 32m -l 8m This will still reserve 40 Mo of swap space, so you can only run about 2 such Eclipses on your machine. We will try to find a workaround. I'll let you know when it is fixed. -- Joachim Schimpf / phone: +44 20 7594 8187 IC-Parc, Imperial College / mailto:J.Schimpf@ic.ac.uk London SW7 2AZ, UK / http://www.icparc.ic.ac.uk/eclipseReceived on Mon Feb 12 15:21:02 2001
