Package: apache Version: 1.3.26-0woody5 Severity: important When apache reloads during cronjob log rotation it now doesn't come back up and /tmp/ usage goes from 1% to 100% ( /tmp/session_mm_apache0.mem starts using space).
This only appeared over the last weekend, so I assume is related to a recent update in stable/security ? # ls -ls /tmp/session_mm_apache0.mem 12 -rw------- 1 root root 67108864 Nov 8 10:25 /tmp/session_mm_apache0.mem # ps aux | grep apache | head -1 root 30707 0.0 4.5 136452 2704 ?
