>Why do you think the machine is running out of memory?  

I'm starting to blame it on our ODBC drivers - Merant/Intersolv SequeLink
4.5.1 for Solaris client and a SLSQLServer on NT.

>Can you see the problem growing slowly 

yes.  Over the 15 day period before everything goes to hell top reports that
the system has less and less memory.

>Also, running "pmap -x" (in /usr/proc/bin) on a representative sample of
programs

Thanks for the pointer - pmap is a cool tool I didn't know I had.  Time to
RTFM on that.

>If stopping and starting Apache doesn't fix it (and you have said it
doesn't), then you really have to carefully consider what else is running
on the system.  

Nothing else - just ApacheJserv.  It's getting a decent amount of traffic,
and it's somewhat i/o intensive with search and replaces and database
inserts and the like.  It's doing some 3000 db inserts a day or so, but the
http traffic is rather low.

>How do you "fix" the problem?  Do you have to reboot?

Yes.  We noticed after big benchmarks (10 concurrent (1000 (jserv/db insert
request))) that the system would sometimes become unstable, so we went to a
db queue structure with serial inserts.  We also have the box patched to
current levels.  That seemed to add stability, but we still have this
nagging 15 day problem.  A reboot is usually necessary, this is the thing I
am really trying to avoid.
