Many process on Red Hat

[Walter do Valle]

Hello all

I'm running Tomcat 4.1 with IBM J2RE 1.3.0 on Red Hat Linux, but some times Tomcat 
turns crazy and open many process  (about 80 - 90) and hangs. When this happens, 
command "tomcat4 stop" does not work. It's necessary to kill process by process. At 
this time, I'm running seven different applications in my tomcat instalation.
If I turn to Sun J2SDK 1.4.X?
Anyone has any suggestion about this problem?

Thanks for any help.

Walter
