Hi all...
I'd appreciate suggestions re this problem. Our University's www server,
running tclhttpd 3.0.1, has a strange behaviour: it seems to occupy
gradually more and more memory, starting at some 5% of system memory,
and going to 20%. (See listing at the end of this mail) After that,
somewhere, it seems to hang (occupying 99% of CPU, not replying to requests).
After a while, following a suggestion of Brent, I tried to kill -QUIT the
tclsh to obtain a core dump, but it does not seem to respond (kill -9 works).
The listing that follows is a cron script that dumps /proc/96/statm. I cannot
find an exact definition of each field (pointers?), but even the first (total
size) increases. And sometimes decreases.
Can this be caused by a programming error of mine? I have the impression this
is caused by some kind of buffer that doesn't get cleaned up...
Thanks in advance!
John
