The patch seems very simple, I don't see why it would cause the
problems you see.  Are there any other changes vs. the stock version
you have?

I don't see anything consistent in these tracebacks except that
eventually a worker gets killed because of out of memory or timeout.
It seems that you are just in a situation of extreme memory pressure.

Many multiprocess or multithread server implementations have a tuning
parameter where each task is limited to processing N requests, then it
exits and a new one is initialized.  If gunicorn has such a feature,
lowering the number of tasks before exit might help keep memory usage
down if there's a leak.

Or you could try experimenting with higher memory allocations to these
processes if that is possible (I'm not suggesting that as a production
solution, it's an experiment to see what happens).

You could also try turning off markdown processing to see if that
alleviates the memory pressure (I can't see why that would help, but
it's a known difference in your instance from stock which doesn't seem
to have such heavy memory usage elsewhere).  Again, this is an
experiment to try to localize the problem, not a suggestion for a
solution.

I hope Mark or another user has some idea, but I don't, sorry.
