more than 256 Mbyte?

[Jens Mortensen]

Hallo,

Yep, my ulimits are OK:

$ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks)  1048575
data seg size (kbytes)   unlimited
file size (blocks)       1048575
max memory size (kbytes) unlimited
stack size (kbytes)      unlimited
cpu time (seconds)       unlimited
pipe size (512 bytes)    64
open files               2000
virtual memory (kbytes)  4194302
