Hi,

I'm trying to load a MultiGen database of about 500MB of flt-files
into perfly on a 512 MB Memory Onyx2 IR, Irix 6.52.

After a while, perfly terminates telling me:
  unable to allocate x bytes from arena ...

I increased PFSHAREDSIZE and swap space on disk with some strange
results given in the list below:

HDisk swap PFSHAREDSIZE Terminated at
2.5 gb 1950000000 962000 kB
2.5 gb 1999999000 976000 kB
2.5 gb 2500000000 610351 kB
2.5 gb 1000000000 976000 kB
1.5 gb 1999999000 976000 kB
3.5 gb 2500000000 870993 kB
3.5 gb 2200000000 934246 kB

It sometimes looks like decreasing the PFSHAREDSIZE gives more space.

I know from the achives that this has been topic several times,
but none of those cases seem to match this one.

Thank you in advance,

   Klaus
