Didn't help. Its still failing several times a day. Not leaving anything
behind but some orphan processes.
Not sure why, but the limits now show as:
Soft FILE size 2097151
Soft CPU time -1
Soft DATA segment -1
Soft STACK size -1
Sort CORE size 2048
What do these values control?
Are there any debugging switches I can set to try to get a handle on this?
