Hi, It seems like connections aren't being closed properly. Some RedHat users have reported a need to set the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL parameter such that NPTL is not used and threading problems go away. I myself don't have experience with that, but if you search this list's archives for LD_ASSUME_KERNEL you'll see what I'm talking about.

If you're using connection pooling such as via DBCP, try adding a validation query to the pool's configuration. >Do you have any ideas?

The block did not occur because traffic was high: I bet the hung connections accumulated over a long period: possibly even the six months you mentioned. It's definitely worth your time to test with Tomcat 5.0.28.
