Ah point taken.
The system has 64 gigs of memory, and probably was using 30% of it before someone/something used it all up. What would emacs be doing?
I know it is possible in vi, since I once did a substitute command in vi on a big file and drained the memory.

The eps() command will give you a process listing.
This works with SCO Unix boxes that have had a kernel panic.
I tried looking for the eps() command on my box, RHEL, but couldn't find it. Is it available on RHEL or just SCO Unix?
