Should one process continue to grow on Linux???

[Brandon Cruz <bc...@norvax.com>]

We are running tomcat 3.2.4 connected to Apache on Linux RedHat 7.1.  We are
using jdk1.3.1_01.  Recently, we have noticed that one process continues to
grow in the memory consumption and cpu usage.  If we do not restart tomcat,
the time this process shows to be running keeps getting bigger.  This is not
the parent process created on startup, it is one of the child processes.  Is
this normal, or do we need to start checking our code?  Below is a sample
output of the process, showing that is has been running for 27:49 minutes.



root     17825  7.8 15.5 818396 77144 ?      S    13:10  27:49
/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/bin/i386/native_threads/java -Dtomcat.home=/usr
