I'm trying to set up an openoffice server environment to merge documents
and convert them to pdfs. I found the oood script located at
http://udk.openoffice.org/python/oood/index.html and updated it enough
to work with openoffice 2.x and didn't have to change anything to work
with 3.0. It works great, however when it gets under heavy load it will
segfault. It usually segfaults after a couple hundred uses and the
last time I tested it it segfaulted after 700. I was wondering if
anybody else has experienced this or had any other solutions I could
look at.
I've tried just running several openoffice processes without using oood
and connecting to them directly, however I believe I'm getting hit by
the memory leak documented
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=41675 and it ends up
taking out the server. I'd like to use oood to manage the processes and
handle restarting the servers as it works really well (until it
segfaults). But the main thing for me is to just get a stable
openoffice server environment up and running.
We're using a new box with 8 processors and 4 gigs of ram, running Linux
version 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version
4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)) #1 SMP Wed Sep 24 19:32:05 EDT 2008
Here's the backtrace of the core file generated from the segfault:
Core was generated by
`/opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/program/python.bin
/opt/openoffice.o'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Please let me know if anyone else has encountered this, has a solution,
or has had to do anything similar with keeping several openoffice
process running and recycling them to keep them from using too much memory.
Thanks,
Mike
