Hello all,

Once in a while I get "Out of memory" errors on our mod_perl servers. They
look like this:

Out of memory during request for 77000 bytes, total sbrk() is 14952448
bytes!
[Mon Nov  7 00:08:01 2005] thaw.al): Callback called exit at
../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into ../../lib/auto/Storable/tha
w.al) line 363.

At last Apache crashes completely.

It's not related to a specific application: It happens on our WebGUI (= cms)
nodes but also
on our (relatively simple) custom applications that run on different boxes.

All perl stuff is running under ModPerl::Registry.

We're using FreeBSD 5.3 / apache-2.0.50_3 / mod_perl2-1.99r16 / perl-5.8.5
all installed using the ports mechanism.

I'm using MaxRequestPerChild 600 to limit the http size growth.
I've tried to restart apache every night but I still get that "Out of
Memory" errors.

Anyone familiar with this problem ?

Len
