aCC runtime: Uncaught exception of type "bad_alloc"

[EU-Admins-UNIX]

Hi

We are trying to startup gpm (glanceplus) on a PA-RISC RP8420 running 11.31.

It has 64GB of memory, and the following settings:

maxdsiz                         4294963200       4294963200     Immed
maxdsiz_64bit            274877906944  274877906944   Immed
maxfiles                        15000                    15000
maxfiles_lim               15000                    15000          Immed
maxssiz                         70000000            70000000       Immed
maxssiz_64bit            1073741824     1073741824     Immed
maxtsiz                          1073741824     1073741824     Immed
maxtsiz_64bit             8589934592    8589934592     Immed

It was shutdown cleanly, but upon startup we got the message in the Subject field.

swapinfo shows:

We also have

HP-ACC-Link                           C.11.31.03     HP aCC_link Bundle

Any ideas?

The message means what it says.  You are out of heap space.

Your maxdsiz and maxdsiz_64bit values seem reasonable.

What does the file command show on gpm?

>swapinfo shows:

Please provide the "swapinfo -tam" output, at the time of the abort.

Hi Dennis

Straight after gpm gave the error, swapinfo -tam shows:

Looks like plenty of swap.

What does" ulimit -a" show?

[EU-Admins-UNIX]

time(seconds)        unlimited
file(blocks)         unlimited
data(kbytes)         4194300
stack(kbytes)        68356
memory(kbytes)       unlimited
coredump(blocks)     4194303

>data(kbytes)         4194300

It looks like that matches maxdsiz, 4 GB.

Perhaps running tusc on gpm may tell us something:

tusc -fp -ea -o tusc.out gpm
