After a hard day of work I think I managed to isolate the problem which looks a lot like a bug:
server: mysql-3.23.51 compiled with: CFLAGS="-fomit-frame-pointer -O3 -fPIC" ./configure --prefix=/opt/mysql --disable-shared --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-debug os: HP-UX 11.00 I have a small java program that connects to the server and does a simple select on a table: the program uses the jdbc driver for mysql and "poolman" that provides a connection pool mechanism (the connection should be reused): after a variable number of connections (usually between 20 and 60) the server stops answering with the following error: "Can't create a new thread (errno 11). If you are not out of available memory, you can consult the manual for a possible OS-dependent bug at /usr/local/vscript/manu/test_conn_db.pl" If I stop the script the resources become again available and everything seems fine. I've tested the same script with a linux bound server an everything works fine. -- - .a.c. - Andrea Carpani - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.vitaminic.[it|com|co.uk|de|es|fr|nl|se|dk|ie] http://www.peoplesound.com http://www.iuma.com http://www.zipmind.it http://www.francemp3.com (www.mp3france.com) _______________________________________ DISCLAIMER, PLEASE NOTE: This communication is intended only for use by the addressee.
