memory error

[Martinus Nel]

Andreas,

I have seen the complaints to do with the embedded perl interpreter, but I was 
under the impression that is only for Nagions 2.0 ?  On top of that, like I said, 
this has been running without problems until recently.  I have a feeling it is 
something I have switched on in the configuration - the problem is, I don't know 
where to start searching for a problem.

As it is going now, I switched on 09:00 this morning, it was using 22%.  Now, it's 
15:20 and I am on 33%.  Memory = 128 MB.  Current checks = 128 active, 10 passive 
over 33 hosts.

As for the PID ... it's just a number I typed in, I don't think you will easily 
see 12345 as a PID/PPID.
