This is someone brute forcing the remote heap overflow in AolServer.

We are running aolserver 4GM on debian and are having trouble keeping it
alive. The problem seems to be that somehow, aolserver continually respawns
until there are ~100 or more processes running (identified by a ps). At that
point, aolserver either just hangs, with nothing notable in the log file, or
sometimes it will stop with an error message like:

unable to alloc 2849420 bytes

This respawning happens whether we run it from the inittab or not.

It is running on a dedicated machine that runs only 1 instance of aolserver.
The box has dual processors and 1G RAM.

As the number of processes grows, the amount of available memory decreases.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
