I raised the limits as high as I can (up to the current hard limits), and I still have the same warning from Emacs. The current values are: $ ulimit -a time(cpu-seconds) unlimited file(blocks) unlimited coredump(blocks) unlimited data(kbytes) 1048576 stack(kbytes) 32768 lockedmem(kbytes) 503904 memory(kbytes) 503904 nofiles(descriptors) 64 processes 160 sbsize(bytes) unlimited I haven't tried to raise the hard limits in order to use even larger values, but intuitively these seem like they should be more than enough - I mean, emacs may be overly large, but it's not *that* large! (At least, I don't think so...) :) Other pointers? Thanks! -Chris
