Category: Pipermail Group: 2.0.x Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: John-Mark Gurney (jmg) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: MemoryError when generating indexes

Initial Comment: Vernier Networks has a relatively small/medium mailing list archive (only ~238megs) that can not be regenerated in 512megs of memory. (Once the machine needs a reboot, this will increase to 1gig.) It dies with a MemoryError supplied below: Updating index files for archive [2002-May] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mailman/bin/arch", line 129, in ? main() File "/home/mailman/bin/arch", line 119, in main archiver.close() File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 304, in close self.update_dirty_archives() File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py", line 934, in update_dirty_archives self.__super_update_dirty_archives() File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 513, in update_dirty_archives self.update_archive(i) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py", line 937, in update_archive self.__super_update_archive(archive) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 417, in update_archive self.__set_parameters(archive) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 332, in __set_parameters firstdate = self.database.firstdate(archive) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperDatabase.py", line 207, in firstdate self.__openIndices(archive) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperDatabase.py", line 238, in __openIndices self.__closeIndices() File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperDatabase.py", line 259, in __closeIndices index.close() File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperDatabase.py", line 186, in close fp.write(marshal.dumps(self.dict)) MemoryError

and I also have an IOError on a lock file.

I will be looking at it, but since I do not know Pipermail, I won't progress very far.
