I've experienced this problem over the weekend on half a dozen
servers in three different locations:
After starting up, AOLserver (mostly 3.4.2, also a 3.5.11) begins
allocating a lot of virtual memory. When I follow the process in top,
the virtual memory counter (but not real memory) rapidly increases
over the course of 10 to 20 seconds, until it hits the limit of 3 GB
virtual memory in user space on x86 Linux boxes. The process then
crashes with this message:
nsthread(3094) error: pthread_create failed in NsThreadCreate: Cannot
allocate memory
(The process is then restarted by supervise/svscan.)
I couldn't find a fix for the problem and had to migrate to AOLserver
4.0.10 (we had already planned this for next month) immediately. But
I find it a bit weird that practically every AOLserver 3 installation
that I know of encounters this problem over the same weekend. Just
bad luck? Date sensitive code?
