Ever since I upgraded to AOLServer 4.0.9, after some extended period of
time, my cgi-bin scripts stop working. It just happened again, and
when I checked the logs, I saw:
[13/Jan/2005:23:58:26][25953.4131597232][-conn:thebox::3906] Error:
exec: ns_fork() failed: Cannot allocate memory
I checked 'top' and it looked like AOLServer had grown to be some
number of gigabytes. My physical RAM was starved, but there was still
swap, so I'm not sure why ns_fork() failed. However, the deeper
question is whether there is a memory leak involved here. I won't rule
out the possibility that the leak is in my own tcl library code, but
the problem only started after I upgraded from the 3.4.x series.
So, are there any known leaks in 4.0.x? Or, do any memory profiling
tools exist for the shared memory allocated by user tcl libraries?
thanks,
