Outlook Express doesn't have the possibility the deactivate line-wrapping completely - sorry, but I will install a new Linux on my
client when the server is running well.

The message '/usr/src/linux/scripts/pathdown.sh: TOPDIR: parameter null or not set' is still there, but I've had some strange result
when testing RAM.

The RAMs are fine (tested with ctRAMtst by Andreas Stiller from c't and with complete 1048 MB on the mainboard).

First, my system:

ASUS CUBX - Mainboard ( INTEL 440BX )
INTEL Celeron 1100 MHz (FCPGA, Coppermine)
4x INFINEON HYS64V32220GU-7-C2 (256 MB, PC133-222-520, 2x 64 Adressleitungen (don't know the english word)) -> 1048 MB RAM
ELSA TNT2 Vanta, 16 MB SD-Ram (AGP)
ASUS SC-200 Scsi-Controller ( Symbios 53c810, PCI-Slot 2)
2x TECHNOTREND DVB-S ( Rev. 1.3, Slot 3 and 6, same IRQ)
2x ALLNET 0124 Gigabit NIC (NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR  DP83821, Slot 4 and 5, same IRQ)

With 1048 MB, both RedHat compilers - GCC 2.96 and GCC 3.02 - caused the memory and segmentation faults. But with 768 MB, GCC 2.96
worked well. Only GCC 3.0.2 messed up even with 256 MB RAM. Has Linux problems addressing memory >= a gigabyte?

Both compilers claimed a 'malloc.h deprecated. use slab.h' !!!

So, RedHat has patched GCC 3.0.2 to hell again, or there are incompatibilities in the driver ...

Anyone who knows the answer and a workaround?

I've renamed gcc to gcc296 in /usr/bin and now I link gcc to gcc296 or gcc3 depending on which compiler fails with a software ...
