We are using ListServ 1.8e in Solaris Sparc 7 (ES250 machines with 2
CPUs). We had a problem in a list index which always crashed the
ListServ. The archive (*.logXXXXX) have 256 weekly archives (there are
more than one archive in a single week) and the total size is 448Meg.
The ListServ would crashed if any user did a search on that list. I
deleted the *.db* corresponding to that list and could see it rebuilt the
index when I did a search. But ListServ crashed 5-10 mintes later that I
had to re-start it. The last few lines of log I saw before the crash
were:
*** FIO file cache now totals 20862k. A list of cached files follows. ***

I noticed that there were a lot of 'U' under the 'Flags'. I would be
appreciated if any one could let me know what is going wrong or I missed
something. I searched the LSTSRV-L and could not find anything. Thank.
