Well, I am pretty sure you are not the largest PHP site out there in terms of traffic. But regardless, chances are you are hitting a bug either in glibc or one of the libraries you are linking into PHP. But without some systematic debugging it is impossible to say for sure. Try it without some of the various modules. Try upgrading your mysql client library, etc. -Rasmus > these webservers have 250 megs of ram and 510 megs of swap. > ...at 150 maxclients.....all of it is gone and all of memory and swap is > eaten and system becomes unstable...php3 can handle 150 maxclients without > problems and persistant connections to mysql.
