makewhatis and out of virtual memory?!



Hi guys.

I have just finished fine-tweaking my newly installed RedHat Picaso 3.0.3 
and it is great, but I have one un-solved problem.

I was trying to run "makewhatis" to, well, make what is ;-) and after a 
half an hour of grinding my HD, it halted, crying: "Out of virtual memory".
Now I have 8 megs, a 24 megs swap space and the damn box was doing 
nothing else at the time, execpt the usuall deamons (no X, no nothing).

I had no trouble before to "makewhatis" on my old slackware 2.3 (with 
only 16 megs swap apce) so i don't see whats the problem.

Anyone?

BTW kernel is 1.2.13, running on a i586.
