-------------8<---------- Start Bug Report ------------8<---------- 1. Problem Description:
The mod-perl enabled server seems to be working ok, but is generating error messages (every minute) as reported by our system administrators: The following errors are being reported in /var/log/messages. This problem may have caused the kernel panic and should be addressed. I copied John Ferreira in case he may have any inform on signal handling issues with RedHat Linux ES 3.0. FYI Jan 23 14:29:34 web1 kernel: application bug: httpd_heavy(3247) has SIGCHLD set to SIG_IGN but calls wait(). Jan 23 14:29:34 web1 kernel: (see the NOTES section of 'man 2 wait'). Workaround activated. Jan 23 14:31:08 web1 kernel: application bug: httpd_heavy(3324) has SIGCHLD set to SIG_IGN but calls wait(). Jan 23 14:31:08 web1 kernel: (see the NOTES section of 'man 2 wait'). Workaround activated.
