Hi,

% ulimit -v 30000
% 7z t ../doku/wikipedia-de-html.7z

7-Zip 4.57  Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Igor Pavlov  2007-12-06
p7zip Version 4.57 (locale=de_DE.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,1 CPU)

Processing archive: ../doku/wikipedia-de-html.7z

Error: Can not open file as archive

% echo $?
2

The manpage says the exit code for “Not enough memory for operation” is 8
and 7z should say it failed to allocate the memory.

Bye, Jörg.
