. . . me again
About once a day our supervisor is crashing our main os x server. I checked the logs and this is what I found in the supe.log ;
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): St9bad_alloc
supervisor(2254) malloc: *** mmap(size=1595867136) failed (error code=12)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): St9bad_alloc
. . . seems like some sort of memory error. Could this be generated from bad memory modules in the server?

. . . actually looks like RAM is o.k

Hi R,
We've not seen this happen to others.
What version of the OS is this?
As you suspect, I also think it's likely a hardware issue.
The MacOS memory test is known to often "pass" bad memory.
Having said that, you could first try running the memory test in single-user
mode for a little more thorough RAM test. If it still doesn't catch an issue,
you may want to try a third-party memory testing app, such as "memtest"
http://www.memtestosx.org/ (I just checked, but they don't have a OSX 10.6
version, though).
Let us know how these tests go.
