Hi all,
with pre-2.1.45-6 I'm still not able to run the
Byte unix benchmark suite successfully. At some point the
system runs out of memory and every new process starts
to complain, that it can't map whatever shared library it
needs.
Here is the memory stats from my log file.

The hardware:
CPU : 200 MHz AMD K6
RAM : 64 MB RAM
HD : Quantum Bigfoot 2550A
CD : Toshiba XM-5702B
Chipset: Intel Triton II
Cache : 512KB

Mem-info:
Free pages: 1400kB
( 98*4kB 22*8kB 6*16kB 3*32kB 0*64kB 5*128kB = 1400kB)
Swap cache: add 0/0, delete 15328504/0, find 585/0
Free swap: 0kB
16384 pages of RAM
431 free pages
526 reserved pages
888 pages shared
Buffer memory: 4640kB
Buffer heads: 4648
Buffer blocks: 4640
CLEAN: 4312 buffers, 0 used (last=0), 0 locked, 0 protected, 0 dirty
LOCKED: 313 buffers, 22 used (last=313), 0 locked, 0 protected, 0 dirty
DIRTY: 1 buffers, 0 used (last=0), 0 locked, 0 protected, 1 dirty
