Short term memory allocator - Netware 6.5 SP8

Hi all,

we're running Sophos Anti-Virus version 4.74 on a lot of Netware 6.5 SP8 servers. Recently on some of these servers an "short term memory allocator out of available memory" error occurs. The error is caused by sweep.nlm. Does anyone has a hint how to solve this?

Best regards

Thomas

  • Hi, I too have this exact error appearing more and more frequently on my servers running Sophos 4.80 with NetWare 6.5 sp8 \ eDir885.

    A restart clears everything up for between days and a couple of weeks but this is not the answer I'm looking for.

    Can anyone help as I can't find any help on this subject either.

    Thanks

    Neil

  • Hi tommikeller and ILOADMIN,

    Please can you contact Sophos Support via email support@sophos.com to each raise a case.

    Once you have the case reference if you send me this by private message (not posting) then I will pick them both up.

    Thanks
