That was my initial thought.  The site uses XSP (no flow).  I'm
thinking about redeveloping the site using Flowscript and JXTemplates
instead of XSP.  But since its production I hate to mess with it too
much.

I did check the memory for the processes using the "ps" command (and
"top").. but I dunno if that would really indicate a memory leak.  The
tomcat process is still running and it appears to not be taking up any
real large amount of memory (if I recall correctly.. I dont think its
taking up any more when its failing than when its freshly started).

I'll check into it though.. oh.. one more thing.. the site doesnt get
a lot of usage so its pretty much idle most of the time.  But even
idle, it still takes about the same time (a month) for it to stop
responding.

Thanks - I'll definitely give this a try when the process hangs again.
 Hopefully that will give me a better idea of whats going on.  It just
drives me crazy when something fails (esp. in production) but doesnt
tell me why its failing.

Thanks,
