Periodically some of our AOLserver installations get into a mode where all calls to "exec" just hang, not really taking up any processor time but eating up a thread. Doesn't seem to be any memory problems coinciding, which I had originally suspected being a limiting factor on the forks. Besides, we usually get an error message when there's not enough memory to fork a child process. Haven't yet figured out anything in particular that causes this to start happening, but once it starts happening, it keeps going eating up more and more threads until we restart the nsd. Any ideas what the cause might be and what I can do to investigate further?
We run AOLserver 4.0.10 on RHELAS 3, and CentOS 4, w/ Tcl 8.4.11. I do want to get moved over to AOLserver 4.5, which would at least give us access to nsproxy, but we had some trouble compiling under CentOS.
