Hey Smith, Thats OK. It was useful for us. We were also facing the same problem - the boxes running AS3 U4 running Oracle 10g R1 DB go out of memory once in a while goes for a toss till it is re-booted. Was wondering whether it is a generic issue with 2.4 kernel and 10gR1. Got it confirmed. Thanks. BTW, any other solutions for this? We are experimenting with AS 3 Update 6. Will keep posted.
