do you use NFS? Search nfs between the apache bugs This could happen I guess even on local file sistem when the httpd process tries to read a file: it stats the file for its size meanwhile if the sought file has been substituted with a new smaller oneit will try to read (and so allocating memory) the last part of the file that can't find
because of substitution. Could this scenario be your own? bye----- Original Message ----- From: "Udo Rader" <udo.rader@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In general, no. Apache considers out of memory to be an unrecoverable error, and therefore doesn't try to protect against it in many different code paths. On the other hand, there is a new module called mod_log_forensice included with apache that may help. It can be used to find requests that were received but where no response was sent. These would probably match up with your out-of-memory crashes. Joshua.thanks, this looks very promising.
