I have posted about this problem a couple of times with not much response, I'm afraid, but here is a different take on it perhaps. I have a 4.10p5 running and for roughly the last two months my swap space has been getting eaten uncontrollably. The only clue I have is that it resets when I restart Apache (1.3.33), and so if I set up a cron job to restart Apache every day or hour the problem is contained: https://secure.antsclimbtree.com/mrtg/ants.swap-year.png Oddly, my physical memory doesn't seem to be generally affected: https://secure.antsclimbtree.com/mrtg/ants.ram-year.png I have 128MB of physical RAM and 384MB of swap. The only clue I have with Apache is a lot of this in /var/log/messages: Jan 21 18:25:06 lilbuddy /kernel: pid 68446 (httpd), uid 80: exited on signal 6 But I'm not sure what to make of it. The only thing Google turns up related to those messages are notes about CodeRed virus attacks, but Apache 1.3.33 is suppose to address that issue. Does anyone have any suggestion of how to attack this problem? I'm totally stumped.
