Hello there!
I am using Linux 0.98pl3 w/TCP/IP compiled in on a 386/25
with 8 megs of RAM. For the last few days i've been
trying to get LPmud 3.1.2 to work, but to no avail.
I've gotten it compiled, and it runs and all, but
if I log onto the MUD, it crashes usually in about
10 minutes.
I usually get the message:
dev_rint: dropping packets due to lack of memory
and then I get the message:
accept: out of memory
and an IOT trap/Abort (core dumped).
However, when this happens I usually still have at
least 5 megs left! I thought it might have been
a problem with smalloc.c, so I tried gmalloc.c,
but I had the same problem.
I've tried linking with the -static option on gcc,
because someone previously had mentioned that
if you linked dynamically, there would be problems
with smalloc, but it didn't help either.
Can someone PLEASE give me some advice? I
am quite stuck.
Thanks a lot.
