Doh!

It appears that after upgrading the git-daemon-run from 1.4.4 to 1.5.1, I didn't do a "sv restart git-daemon".

After running the command I can now do a checkout form the web repository, yay!

It appears to use 128m of virtual memory when checking out the repository (which is why it would be hitting the 64Mb limit).

Would adding a "chpst -m256000000" be a good idea?

Thanks for your help.
