[elephant-devel] Berkeley DB error: Cannot allocate memory.

[Red Daly]

Unfortunately I am still getting allocation errors even after increasing the
cache size to 1.2 gigabytes and eliminating all transactions from my
application.  I have included db_stat output--the only alarming aspect is
the section about mutexes.  Do I need more memory dedicated to storing
mutexes?  90 megabytes seems sufficient to me.  (see attachment)

here's some output from the lisp side:
*** glibc detected *** /usr/local/bin/sbcl: malloc(): memory corruption:
0x000000000065c910 ***
======= Backtrace: =========

[0x100491019b]

Any idea what's going wrong here?  I'd like to debug it a little more (maybe
see an additional error log from bdb), but I can't quite figure out what to
do.  Right now all I'm getting is the error code and its message from
elephant.

This is with elephant 0.9.1 and bdb 4.5.20.  Would a patch of elephant to
support the 4.7 bdb be in order?

Thanks,
