Hi, Michal
The gateway is running an embedded system, no harddisk is available, so
it is not possible to add more RAM or swap.
I think it should be caused by some un-tested/un-catched memory
allocation failure somewhere in the source code. is there any debug tool
can help for this issue? i tried valgrind, but valgrind was killed by
the kernel before stunnel for out of memory.
