The memory problem itself is already diagnosed (some non-apache process allocated more than it was expected, therefore less memory remained for apache/modperl processes) and I will work on it. Nevertheless I'd like to improve apache behaviour in lack of memory conditions - if possible. Thanks for all the hints. -- ( Marcin Kasperski | In any large change, 1/3 will think it is great, 1/3 ) ( http://www.mk.w.pl | will think it is stupid, and 1/3 will wait (Reed) ) (----------------------------------------------------------------------------) ( Porady dla twórców serwisów WWW: http://www.mk.w.pl/porady/porady_www )
