Since the 2.1 upgrade I have been experiencing numerous script terminations 
(exit status: 1) and segfaults which I haven't seen when running the 
previous 1.9 and 2.0 versions (over the last 4 years).

It would appear that the  256 MB of available memory with the Alix board is 
now insufficient to meet the peak loading of the currently released 2.1 
versions when the scheduled scripts run at 5 minute intervals.

To mitigate the problem I have tried (with some success) to stagger the time 
when the various scripts are started (eg running makegraphs.pl 1 minute 
later by editing fcrontab).

Could the developers have a look at the peak loading requirements with the 
latest version of IPCop when running on memory challenged systems like the 
Alix as I think it would be shame to see that it was no longer suitable for 
running IPCop.
