Can't allocate memory

[Miguel Rodriguez]

Hi, I'm using mysql 4.1.12-standard-log on a HP-UX11.11 with 8G Memory. I'm using the InnoDB storage system.

If I try to configure mysql to use more than 700M, I get the following error:

InnoDB: Error: cannot allocate 943734784 bytes of memory with malloc! Total allocated memory by InnoDB 30553264 bytes. Operating system errno: 12
Check if you should increase the swap file or ulimits of your operating system.

I check the ulimits and is set to unlimited. There is over 2G free swap memory.

Any ideas on how to avoid this problem?

Thank you in advance,

Miguel
