[AOLSERVER] Has anyone had experience on 64-bit AOLserver for possible memory leaks?
Hi, I was looking over the discussion here... http://groups.google.com/group/aolserver/browse_thread/thread/7efbe7faff45419a?pli=1 And I've been experiencing something similar with 64-bit compiled Aolserver 4.0 release 10 wherein the cpu processing leaps to 100% or more, and memory consumption just keeps getting larger and larger even though I'm the only one accessing the system. I'm looking into upgrading to 4.5.1 but I'm not sure if there's anything I should look into. The thread posted had a suggestion that tcl shouldn't be compiled with --enable-64-bit but I wanted to find out if anyone had any up-to-date information on going 64-bit with AOLserver with both versions (4.0.10 and 4.5.1)? Looking forward to some ideas. Thanks! -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.

Thanks for the swift reply Gustaf. I have Debian Etch on 64-bit as the OS platform and I'm thinking that OS choice should not particularly affect performance, right? Thanks for the response! Regards.

That's very interesting to know, Gustaf. I've got 4.5.1 built though performance seems to be roughly the same. I'm using nsoracle and at this point, I think it might be the cause of some segmentation fault crashes. I'm using 2.8a1 which seems to be less stable than 2.7 though I'm also half expecting application level issues with aolserver. All seem to point to aolserver being capable of 64-bit, so I should suppose this is an application level problem. It's just really hard to figure out how to trace all the threads that are running. I hope you might give me some hint on debugging techniques on aolserver. Thanks very much for your insight.
