LSVDBASE choked on "machine storage exhausted" in LISTS Database search. The error occurs in line 148 while processing the DBINDEX. Now - the LISTS DBINDEX has already about 500k, but LISTSERV is running with 4M and I think that should be sufficient. I then checked free storage and found that while LISTSERV is "waiting" only about 1M of the 4M remains. My questions are: * have others observed a similar problem ? * does this mean you can't run LISTSERV in less than 3M (and if you want some function 4M) ? * who's eating all the storage ??? * does it mean that approx. (extrapolated) 7000 lists are a "natural" limit? Christian
