Thanks. Since this is running on a fit-PC 1.0
(http://www.fit-pc.com/fit-pc1/fit-pc-1-0-specifications.html), with
229 MB of physical memory and 760 MB of swap, I reduced the two
splitsize values, from 3 Gb to 1 Gb, and 1 Gb to 200 Mb. I also made
more room on the holding disk. I also got rid of some cruft in the
offending DLE. We'll see what that does.
I also moved the split disk buffer directory to the amanda directory.
