We've installed quite a few instances of Tomcat on clients sites, both
on Windows and Linux, but we've never had a problem quite like this.
The system has been installed since the end of 2006, on Red Hat EL 3,
Tomcat 5.5.20 and JVM 1.5_09, but they have only just noticed this
problem (so it may have been there from the start or just started happening)
When they go into 'top' and sort it on memory usage, they get this;
15:46:49 up 30 days, 4:30, 4 users, load average: 0.07, 0.03, 0.01

Normally, I only expect to see 2,3,4 or 5 java processes associated with
the Tomcat user, not all of the above!
Has anyone seen this before? It surely doesn't look normal... Does it
point to the JVM, Tomcat or something else? Is it something to do with
the fact that's running on a SMP system? I'm really stuck, which is why
I'm wondering if anyone on the list can point me in the right direction
for a solution.
Thanks in advance.
John
