>Description:
I couldn't log in via SSH into my server this morning. When I had a look
at the console I found these error messages:

Feb 10 05:01:45 colwyn amd[465]: Retrying memory allocation
Feb 10 05:01:47 colwyn last message repeated 2 times
Feb 10 05:01:48 colwyn amd[465]: Out of memory
Feb 10 05:01:51 colwyn /netbsd: uid 0, pid 465, command amd, on /: file system full

I logged in as "root" on the console and tried to restart "amd". The system
became unresponsible afterwards.

BTW: the message about "/" being full is bogus. My root filesystem isn't full.

>How-To-Repeat:
Configure amd(8) on a NetBSD 3.1 system, use it heavily and wait a few
days (or weeks).

>Fix:
None provided.
