Out of Memory error - Tomcat 3.2.1

[Somik Raha]

Hi,     Sorry for posting earlier in Rich Text.       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
