   Dear all,

   I recently moved my mail server to a Virtual Private Server. We came from
   a dedicated Slackware server and crm114 ran fine there.

   On the virtual server, crm114 keeps throwing errors like 'Tried to fork
   your minion, but it failed.', 'Couldn't malloc one or more
   ofnewinputbuf,inbuf,outbuf,tempbuf.' and 'Couldn't malloc cdw->filetext.'

Try to run it from the command line.

My bet is even though your ulimit and max memory size are OK, the actual 
amounts available within the VM are lower.  

   [...]

   The -w option seems to help with the minions error, but then more malloc 
   errors pop up.

That's interesting.  It makes it seem like the memory system is lying
to you- you really don't have much memory or many process slots and the errors 
are telling you that.

You might want to try a really simple test program, just to verify that
there are enough slots.  Grab a copy of the Big Manual, and look
at the "beast with 1000 young" test code.  (it's like 12 lines of code,
type it in).  Give that a run.  Supposedly you have 30000+ process slots,
but I bet it doesn't work.  Scale down the number of child processes till
it does work - that will tell you something

Do you own the machine in question, or just rent the virtual private server?

   I tried the search function on the mailinglist archive but somehow I can't
   get that to work. Google yielded SElinux (the VPS environment is HyperVM)
   seems to have something to do with this; at least someone here pointed
   that out on:
   http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=crm114-general&a=2007-12&t=5957112

I don't think we resolved that one either.  But when I run my
Megatest on the Fedora 32bit testing VM, it works fine.  But it's not
pushing the limits there either.
