We had a site that was doing this, and the fix in this post worked for us:

http://dossy.org/archives/000108.html

It was rather perplexing; only one of our many hosted sites had the problem, and it just started exhibiting it one day with no obvious change to account for it. Based on Dossy's description that shouldn't be possible.

Dear all,

I’ve got a question (possibly a newbie’s one) on the memory allocated by Aolserver (4.0.10) when running OpenACS (5.1.5).

When monitoring (with “top” or “atop”) the memory used by Aolserver running an OpenACS based Web application it is possible to notice that the value of virtual memory allocated by the “nsd” process always grows and never ever gets smaller.



I suspected this continuous growth of the allocated virtual memory was due either to tDOM or the Aolserver memory allocator. I made sure in my application that every time tDOM is used its allocated memory gets explicitly released, but still no luck… So I guess the problem could reside in the Aolserver memory allocator.



Any clue, any suggestion?  Am I doing something wrong?



I’d like not to be forced to schedule a nightly restart of the server just to keep the memory allocation problem under control.



Thanks in advance for your help,

Maurizio
