Is that after mserver5 had crashed?

How big is/was your mserver5 when running or just before crashing?

Your machine and OS seem to be 64-bit, right?

What about your MonetDB installation?
Could you please provide us with the output of
    `mserver5 --version`
?

MonetDB does in-memory processing, i.e., all columns that are active at a time
need to be in the processes address space, either being loaded or being
memory mapped; so yes, with huge amount of data MonetDB will also use
virtual memory, either as swap or as memory-mapped files.

Also I noticed this type of messages on the mserver5 console when piping records through the mclient (over 1million records) . It seems that the mclient is quiet instable (cf my post about "COPY, terminating connection" few months ago).
