I'm thinking of the situation where you have 1 parent, 4 children. all 4 children hit max-requests and exit before the first replacement spawns. without a standing connection in the parent (or another process using bdb in any way ) wouldn't that memory be released back to the system , and a new memory space be started on the spawn?
Sure, but if all your children exit at once, BerkeleyDB cache is the least of your worries. It will never happen. And even in this case, when they all respawn and create a new segment, there will be no loss of data. The worst case is that the cache is cleared. - Perrin
