No - after the 'make install' stopped I have not
touched anything. As I said, swapinfo still shows
zero swap being used.
It's a Big Deal (TM) to bring this system down, and I
believe maxdsiz cannot be tuned on the fly with sysctl
... are you suggesting that either make or cc just
gets out of hand and makes a process too big for
themselves ?
If so, is it possible to tell make or cc to behave
ahead of time, and leave maxdsiz alone ?
Thanks.
