Probably something went wrong with your rdsinit command.  Can you send
me the parameters you entered for that?   Also, which version of RVM
have you been using? There is a recent version on the WWW:

ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/rvm

A couple of important bugs were fixed during the last six months.

Subject: RVM enquiry -- segmentation fault with Linux 2.0.34-0.6


:Hello,
:
:I am a PhD student at Cornell University. I downloaded the RVM
:distribution from CMU's web site a few days ago and compiled it
:successfully, but following the instructions included in the RVM manual
:carefully, I got an "RVM_ENO_MEMORY" error when running "rvm_basher".
:I made a preliminary trace through the source code, but I wasn't able
to
:easily see what the problem was. I'm running Redhat Linux 5.0, kernel
:version 2.0.34-0.6. Could you give me any advice as to what the problem
:might be? (I have appended a copy of the output to the end of this
message.
:
:Thank you very much.
