The strace will only show mmaps until "[crit] Memory allocation failed" ! Do you have a suggestion on how I could "intercept" these processes before the problem happens ?rlimit maybe. I'd suggest something is trying to allocate a 'negative' amount of memory. The real answer is to locate the bug. If you really want to do that, build/install debug versions of your s/w, attach gdb to the running process, and ask for a backtrace.
Update :
Just to let you know, we use proxying to serve http://requests/like/that to customers while internally getting http://requests?like=that if you see what I mean
Could it be the source of a problem ?
