MP1, Redhat 7.3: Transmission size limited after some time

[Gerd Knops <ge...@bitart.com>]

Hi all,

I got a really odd problem: I have identical mod_perl/apache installs 
on FreeBSD 3.x systems and a few Redhat 7.3 systems.

After some time running OK, the Redhat systems start acting up. 
Transmissions are suddenly cut of after somewhere between 90 and 150 
kb. Absolutely nothing in any logs is indicating a problem. Dynamic web 
pages sent via "print" are affected the same as downloads sent via 
"$r->send_fd('FH');".

Restarting the web server fixes it, but a few hours/days later the 
problem resurfaces. Anyone encountered something similar? Any pointers 
as to how to debug this? I have ruled out problems with external 
hardware or proxies, as that problem occurs equally on systems in 
radically different environments.

Thanks for any pointers

Gerd

This makes me think perhaps you have MaxRequestsPerChild set to zero
in your configuration?
