GNU ld version 2.16

Ouch! 1 Mb RAM + 2Mb swap ought to be enough.

I'm wondering what could be eating up memory when the workstation is 
idle, "ps" or "top" don't show any process eating up lots of memory and 
ipcs doesn't show shared memory in use:

$ top

I think I'm going to reboot this workstation and restart...
