[rabbitmq-discuss] ll_alloc errors on RabbitMQ 2.1.1

[Manuel DE FERRAN]

Greetings,

recently we upgraded to version 2.1.1. We picked up the official debian
package, and installed it on a debian lenny. And we face problems of memory
allocation 'll_alloc: Cannot allocate 486539264 bytes of memory (of type
"port_tab")' when invoking rabbitmqctl.
We have definitely no clue about what's happening. Moreover it does not
happen every time, but when it happens once, we're stuck. Rebooting fixes
the issue.

Maybe a faulty memory ? We will run a memtest when possible.
