4314.0. "Badalloc error with T1.3 impm?" by GIDDAY::DRANSFIELD (Mike Dransfield, Sydney RSSG) Wed Dec 23 1992 21:54

    I get an error message when starting the T1.3 iconic map interface.
    It comes up and seems to work (I have a few problems with entity
    classes not registered and stuff, but I think I understand those)
    
    Anyone got a clue what this means?
    Am I doing something wrong or is MCC?
    BUSHIE> mana/ent/int=decw
    X Toolkit Warning: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
    
    This is running on VMS 5.5-2 and displaying to either an alpha
    running OSF/1 T1.2 or to a Sparcstation running SunOS 4.1.2
    so I guess the problem is at the VMS end...
    
    thanks,
    Mike

4314.1Looks like resource problemTOOK::MINTZErik MintzWed Dec 23 1992 22:008
A straightforward reading of the message indicates that one of the
low level X routines tries to allocate memory, and fails.

How much memory do you have on the machines?
What is the pagefile size?

    re: .1
    thanks for the reply.....this sounds unlikely since I didn't have any
    problem with 1.2..
    the machine has 92Mb of memoery 250,000 blocks of pagefile space.
    I have a working set extent of 47000 pages and a pagefile quota of
    300,000. bytlm of 100000...other quotas are similarly high.
    
    any more clues about tracking down the problem?
    thanks,
    Mike
