Hi,

We're still looking in to solving this issue, but I'm confused as to what's 
causing the problem. If the memory allocated to Varnish fills up is it expected 
to crash like this? Or under what circumstances will it crash if the memory 
fills up? I thought the very nature of running it in two processes prevented 
these kind of situations where it needs to be manually restarted?

Thanks for all your help so far,
Connor Walls

Hi,

We've recently been having problems with varnish being killed with out of 
memory problems, our logs show information like this:

This is not a bug in Varnish. It is most probably a misconfiguration. You 
either have to little memory in your system or you are asking Varnish to use 
too much. I'm guessing you are using -s malloc. Remember that there is a 1k 
overhead on each object stored in Varnish.


(..)

Now, we've been planning from Varnish 2.1.5 to 3.0 for a while, and we're 
hoping that this will solve our issues, but I just want to check if there are 
known OOM issues in 2.1.5, or is the problem likely to persist after upgrading 
to 3.0?

It will probably persist.
