Ah.. should have though of that. Thanks.

But, when I 'strace programname', I only see two lines of output. The first 
being the program execution itself, and the second line is 
"+++ Killed by SIGKILL +++"

How do I figure out who send the SIGKILL ? FWIW, this program requires rather 
big amount of memory, is there a limit somewhere that send the SIGKILL? This 
is on a fresh installed FC3.

Thanks for any help.
