An update on this one. When I start the program, the memory usage in PHP shows 524288. This stays the same throughout the execution of the program.
However, in the top command I see the percentage of memory increasing slowly up to about 50%, then it drops a bit again and seems to stabilize. At the same time, the swap space used increases very slowly up to a point where the swap space is filled and my PHP script is killed by the kernel because it is out of swap space. Surprisingly, the amount of memory as show by memory_get_usage() does NOT increase. As it seems, there is another bug active which does eat up kernel memory, but which goes unnoticed by PHP. Some more information: Number of SNMP queries per second: 14 Amount of phsyical memory: 128 MB Amount of swap space 1 GB Time befoe the process is killed 12 -24 hours. I hope this is of any use Regards Hans Linkels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
