Bug#421557: apache2: memory leak addendum

From: Colin Wetherbee <cww(at)denterprises.org>

Since upgrading apache2 to 2.2.3-4 last week, I have had to restart Apache numerous times because it will grow in memory size and eventually slow my server severely. The only way to regain control is to be physically at the terminal and (very slowly) login as root and restart apache2.

With 2.3 GB of memory (RAM + swap), seven apache2 processes will take my system down in about 12 hours.

This is 'top' from two hours after restarting apache2:

PID USER NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ P COMMAND

13227 www-data   0  118m 103m 4912 S    0 10.3   0:24.72 0 apache2
13228 www-data   0  117m 102m 4976 S    0 10.2   0:24.84 0 apache2
13226 www-data   0  117m 102m 4872 S    0 10.1   0:24.03 0 apache2
13221 www-data   0  115m 100m 4972 S    0 10.0   0:24.32 0 apache2
13225 www-data   0  114m 100m 4972 S    0  9.9   0:24.06 0 apache2
13223 www-data   0  113m  98m 4980 S    0  9.8   0:26.18 0 apache2
13222 www-data   0  112m  97m 4940 S    0  9.6   0:23.12 1 apache2

Other possibly useful stuff:

Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) PHP/5.2.0-10+lenny1 mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8e mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8 Server at iron.denterprises.org Port 80

Version: 2.2.3-4

Thanks.

Do you need help?

Colin
