I've seen similar threads but not a resolution, so I'll raise this issue
again.

I'm moving our web server and web apps to a new machine, a dual Xeon Redhat
8 box.  Tomcat 5.0.16 and Tomcat 4.1.29 both handle loads well when using
the Tomcat HTTP server.  But I need to connect Tomcat to an Apache
front-end, currently 2.0.28.  When I use either mod_jk or mod_jk2, the JVM
crashes after 1970-1980 requests with Signal 11 and this in
logs/catalina.out:

JVMDG217: Dump Handler is Processing a Signal - Please Wait.
JVMDG303: JVM Requesting Java core file
JVMDG304: Java core file written to
/ucar/dpc/aegean/www/web/www.dlese.org/tomcat/javacore.20040113.142044.6635.txt
JVMDG215: Dump Handler has Processed Exception Signal 11.

 and this exception in the java core:

 2XMEXCPINFO    JVM Exception 0x2 (subcode 0x0) occurred in thread
 "TP-Processor9" (TID:0x10174AB8)

I've seen suggested avenues like:
# kernel rebuilds (some 2.4.18-2.4.2? kernels had bad thread handling)
# switching JVMs, e.g., Sun, IBM, BEA JRockit
# cleaning out the work directory,
# using or not using LD_ASSUME_KERNEL,
# disabling hyperthreading,
# disabling SMP,
# adjusting heap and stack sizes
# rebuilding the mod_jk or mod_jk2 connectores.
# expanding user ulimits

That makes for a huge matrix of possibilities.  Any hints on which paths
might be more fruitful, or others to consider.  Are more data needed to help
isolate this problem?

Thanks,

Peter
