Re: Out of Memory error - Tomcat 3.2.1

Wondering if anyone has any idea about this issue. Would appreciate a reply..   Yours, Somik ----- Original Message ----- From: Somik Raha To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 11:17 AM Subject: Out of Memory error - Tomcat 3.2.1 Hi,     I am using Tomcat 3.2.1 with Apache.     I find a strange phenomenon - whenever an http request is made, a tomcat thread is created. But when the servlet finishes, the thread is not destroyed. This results in a big problem - after sometime, an OutOfMemory exception is thrown  - with the message "Unable to create Native Thread".     Doing "pstree -ap" shows more than a thousand threads under the tomcat process (there are only a few servlets).  I have checked my servlets, none of them have threads that dont end.         I checked the Tomcat page, and it says I ought to upgrade to 3.2.3, as there are a lot of performance fixes. Is this one of them ?     I want to make sure this is the problem, or the problem lies elsewhere..       Will appreciate help on this issue.     Thanks.   Regards, Somik ********************************** Somik Raha R&D Team Kizna Corporation Hiroo ON Bldg. 2F, 5-19-9 Hiroo, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, 150-0012, JAPAN Phone : +81-3-5475-2646 Fax     : +81-3-5449-4870 **********************************
