Hi,
Problem is, Mysql server in our production machine keeps spawning child
processes and it reaches to a level where mysql hangs and the only
solution is to restart our mysql server. I have checked all the
databases using "mysqlcheck" command and every table is OK now.
Recently, MySQL server suffered from low disk space and hence some of
the tables got corrupted. We have repaired them using "mysqlcheck -r"
option. Can this be a Reason of the mysqld process spawning problem ??.
Some help will really save me as this is a production machine. We have
MySQL 3.23.x running and Following is more technical details that you
may need to think upon:
        
(1) HERE IS THE PARTIAL OUTPUT OF 'TOP' COMMAND:
