This looks more likely a memory issue to me. Have you tried setting the heap size for the JVM? I had faced a similar problem earlier and it was solved when I changed the heap memory settings. Depending upon the server's memory, you can use the '-Xmx xxk -Xms xxk' option to change your heap settings.

We are running a Tomcat 4.0 server in our production environment and I am trying to upgrade to Tomcat 4.1. I ran some load test recently and was horrified to see the server crashing even under moderate load. After more testing, I found that starting the VM with the -server option systematically crash the VM after few minutes of load test. The server works fine even under heavy load with the -client option. The same behavior can be reproduced with both JDK1.4.0 and JDK1.4.1. My TC4.0 server runs fine with the -server option. Now, this is obviously a JVM problem but probably won't have any help from SUN since: - I cannot create a test case to reproduce my problem. - I works fine with TC4.1 Can someone help me with this issue or at least guide me to the right contact? I found several tickets opened on the SUN bug database with similar issues but none of them had a resolution or people assigned to work on them. Thanks! Aymeric
