ACID makes Apache eat tons of RAM

Hi everyone! Didn't find anything about this in the archives. My setup: - OpenBSD 2.9 - Snort 1.8.1-RELEASE (Build 74) - MySQL 11.15 Distrib 3.23.37 - Apache 1.3.19 - ACID 0.9.6 b 16 I noticed that refreshing (apparently) any ACID page several times at short intervals causes Apache to eat up unbelieveable amounts of memory. Here's a real-life example: 1. Apache is running, ACID has not been used yet: 49 processes: 1 running, 48 idle CPU states: 0.2% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.8% interrupt, 99.1% idle Memory: Real: 12M/35M act/tot Free: 213M Swap: 23M/256M used/tot PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE WAIT TIME CPU COMMAND 21582 mysql 2 0 11M 1852K idle select 0:48 0.00% mysqld 27349 root 2 0 7292K 1472K sleep poll 0:13 0.00% squid 21267 root -16 0 7812K 1672K sleep bpf 0:07 0.00% snort 2. ACID Maintenance page loaded once: 52 processes: 1 running, 51 idle CPU states: 0.2% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.2% interrupt, 99.7% idle Memory: Real: 19M/42M act/tot Free: 206M Swap: 23M/256M used/tot PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE WAIT TIME CPU COMMAND 21582 mysql 2 0 11M 1936K sleep select 0:49 1.46% mysqld 4614 www 2 0 4036K 6352K sleep netio 0:00 1.17% httpd 27349 root 2 0 7292K 1492K sleep poll 0:13 0.00% squid 3. ACID Maintenance page refreshed 10 times with 3 seconds between reloads: 52 processes: 2 running, 50 idle CPU states: 63.2% user, 0.0% nice, 29.5% system, 1.4% interrupt, 5.9% idle Memory: Real: 158M/182M act/tot Free: 65M Swap: 23M/256M used/tot PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE WAIT TIME CPU COMMAND 10329 www 64 0 147M 138M run - 0:05 21.39% httpd 9287 www 18 0 4304K 6776K sleep lockf 0:15 9.67% httpd 21582 mysql 2 0 11M 1944K idle select 0:54 1.71% mysqld Wow! Apache eats almost 150 MB! That's too much I guess... Anybody got any idea what could be causing this? - Jyri _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
