The > obvious next step is to add more swap - I will do so, and try again. I tried that - increased swap space to 1GB (all I could find on this set of drives). It made no difference at all; it still used up all real memory, and crashed - more than 700MB of swap was still unused. If anything, it seems to have crashed even sooner than before. It has to be some setting in Informix memory allocation - but I sure can't see what it might be. Don Miller Network Operations JFK University
