The server error logs show no indication of what's going on, and it is nowhere near being overloaded with around 8 requests/second and .0131% CPU load >How-To-Repeat: Due to the seemingly random nature of the problem, it is a bit difficult to reproduce. You can try: http://partyman.qc.ca to see if you can reproduce it. >Fix: >From what I've been able to gather, I believe this is either a problem with >glibc 2.1 or openssl. I have a few servers setup with libc5 which have never >had so much as a hiccup, and I've had a few problems with different software >packages and glibc 2.1 >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
