Hi there, I am running a fresh install of FreeBSD-6.1-Stable as a guest OS in VMWare 1.0.1 with 1 GB of RAM. Whenever I try to grep a large text file (400 MB+), grep terminates with ?grep: memory exhausted? I have tried piping grep (cat ?file? | grep ?search term?) I have tried it with ?line-buffered ulimit ?a show: core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) 524288 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 11095 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1 stack size (kbytes, -s) 65536 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 5547 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited Any help?
