For referance the problem i am seeing, is that even though i have configured a load of modules to be preloaded, they are not being preloaded, or at least not being shared.
[Daniel talks about the thread he has started earlier in Dec http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107197605300005&r=1&w=2]
This happened after moving to a new server running the same redhat 9 but with different kernels and glibc's. I'm betting thats where the problem is. In the old server everything was shared for a good while.
Has anyone had similar problems with RedHat 9?
Have you asked this question on the glibc list? mod_perl doesn't do anything special to enable sharing and simply relies on the OS.
Is it possible that top(1) gets the information incorrectly? Since you are on Linux you can use Apache::VMonitor as an alternative and easier way to see the stats on memory usage.
As Perrin suggested earlier could it be a bug in a new kernel that you moved to? What happens if you downgrade/upgrade your kernel?
