I am using tomcat 3.2.3 and trying to send multiple simultaneous requests to my servlet. I have put 100msec delay between starting of the threads on the client side. Each thread sends a connection request to the servlet. If the number of threads I start is less than 43(magic number??), everything works great, but if I increase the number of threads to anything greater than 43, tomcat cores with following message : =============================================== Segmentation Fault si_signo [11]: Segmentation Fault si_errno [0]: Error 0 si_code [1]: SEGV_MAPERR [addr: 0x0] stackpointer=EB7F12E8 *** Garbage Collection in process, a thread *** dump is not possible. ================================================ It looks like memory corruption. Can this be aproblem with tomcat? Has anybody encountered this problem? Any suggestions/ideas to overcome the problem are greatly appreciated. Thanks -- Neelakshi
