Looks nasty. Recursive means that something that calls itself. If nothing stops that process, it will eventually fall over, often by consuming all available memory as apparently in this case. I have very little idea why it might happen. It could be a fault in your openwebmail package, your configuration of that package or perhaps one of your scripts.

Have you seen the mod_perl Guide sections on memory usage? Will you send us your httpd.conf file? Buying more memory will probably only delay the symptom by a few milliseconds next time it happens. You need to fix the problems in the code/scripts/config, or use a different package? If this message were sent to you by the mod_perl List server, there would be links to useful information at the bottom. That's as good a reason to subscribe as any. :) 73, Ged. -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
