Virtual memory exhausted

[Alexey Zakhlestin]

Hi All.

I am using cyrus-imapd 2.2.12 with nntp-functions enabled.
I was using instructions from 
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/install-netnews.html to get 
some nntp-groups to my local server and to be able to access all the 
posts history using IMAP

It went fine, until I tried to get a really big newsgroup..
looking thru /var/spool/imap/folder/corresponding/to/group I can see 
that I managed to get 12708 messages.. but the problem is, that I just 
can't access those using IMAP-protocol.

Here is the listing of the session:

* OK t1.cjlohbi.su Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.12 server ready
1 login myusername mypassword
1 OK User logged in

3 select nntp.name.of.that.newsgroup

* BYE Fatal error: Virtual memory exhausted

Everything works fine with smaller groups.
Also, I was watching top, during this session - I didn't see a single 
sign of memory exhaustion - there's plenty of it.

and, yes, there are no ulimits set

should it be considered a bug report?
