insufficient memory or swap space problem

[Amber Goel]

Hi,

I am working on HP-UX 64bit OS.When I am running a program My program is getting kiled with the following messages.
This is a small program which read the data from Inter server queues and fill some structurs.
when My program going to assign memeory to the structur using meset, then program gets crash.

> Pid 6071 received a SIGSEGV for stack growth failure.
> Possible causes: insufficient memory or swap space,
> or stack size exceeded maxssiz.

Current memory stack size is 16777216 i.e 16 K and maxssize_64bit size is 262144.
Please help in this regards.

You should also have a look at your swap.

With #swapinfo -atm you can see if you are running out of swap, and you can't reserve swap for the process.

Here I found some info about swap,adn the swapinfo command:

Hope it helps.

Your process may just be a victim of heavy system load. Do you see any messages in the system log files?

>My program is getting killed with the following messages.

This is likely a coding error, a recursive stack overflow.

>My program going to assign memory to the structure using memset, then program gets crash.

Are you sure you have the right address and length?

You need to have consistent units. Is this 16 Mb and 256 Mb?
16 Mb may be a little too small.
