VERSIONS The problem exists with various combinations. The ones I'm currently testing are: Apache 1.3.12+mod_perl 1.17+perl 5.5.3 Apache 1.3.14+mod_perl 1.3.24+Perl 5.6.0 PROBLEM / SYMPTOMS The combination of Apache 1.3.12 + mod_perl 1.27 + perl 5.5.3 is working beautifully on our existing server, which is running Solaris 2.6. This same combination, as well as combinations of newer versions of each package, does not work on the new server, which is running Solaris 2.8 Very often, but not with 100% reliability, a mod_perl program will either A) generate an "Out of memory!/Callback called exit." error in the error_log or B) simply hang without generating any messages at all. Whichever failure mode happens (or if it works), it sticks with for several hours at a time. e.g. If it hangs now, I can hit it in a moment and be assured that it will hang again and not work or generate the message. I followed the advice in the mod_perl_traps, regarding PERL_EMERGENCY_SBRK, and it made absolutely no difference at all. This is driving myself and my co-workers crazy, cuz it's delaying our migration to the new server. Ideas? -- Gregor Mosheh, B.S. Programmer, CargoTel
