Low level parts of the GC were rewritten in 3.11. Well, the way that it gets blocks of memory off the operating system anyhow ... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445545#c9 http://caml.inria.fr/pub/ml-archives/caml-list/2008/05/9c24581520a98afa2e11185845b5458a.en.html So maybe upgrading to 3.11 is an option for you? I don't know whether it will make a difference, but it's possible it will change the behaviour and 3.11 is quite stable so it's unlikely to introduce any regressions. Rich. -- Richard Jones Red Hat
