Hi all, my Python (2.4) program crashed after a couple days of running (this'll be a pain to debug, I know). I think it just...stopped running. My log files didn't show any (unusual) exceptions (I use the logging module to files and stdout/stderr piped to files). I have a feeling that the python interpreter crashed - perhaps I consumed a lot of memory and so CPython died. I also don't use ctypes or anything - I do import some twisted modules but I don't really use them. There was no core dump and I don't know how to elicit one. How can I find out as much as possible what happened? For starters, I'm now checking exit status and periodically running 'top' to monitor memory consumption, but are there any other ideas?
