New subject: [Serusers] No mem for sip_msg

What do you suggest it be increased too?  Currently the line reads '#define
PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE 1024*1024'

  I've recently gone back to MySql v4.0, w/ SER

 I have plenty of memory in my system.  Has anyone else run into this 
 problem, and if so, how did you fix it? 
The short fix is edit config.h and change PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE. Right now is
1Mb, increase it.

Explanation:
 ser uses 2 types of memory, shared and "local". The "local" memory is
 not
shared between the processes and it's faster to allocate since we  don't
need to lock on malloc.  The shared mem. size can be increased form the
command line (-m  size_in_mb). The default is 32Mb.  The "local" mem.
maximum size is fixed to 1Mb (PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE). We  haven't needed more so
far. In your case probably ser uses a lot of  "local" mem. when it tries to
load some of the databases in RAM on  init. This is a known problem, and in
the future we'll solve it without  increasing PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE, but for now
this is the only solution.  (I assume this is the problem in your case, but
you could have also  found a mem. leak, we would need the full logs and
maybe a debug build  to say for sure).
