Does the bug happen when you turn off memory overcommit by "echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory" ? No, it does not. I get "Segementation fault" and "Out of momory!" as both root and user. So what next? This makes the application crasch although it doesn't take the server with it (which is good). Can I provide you with logs or other sets of data? PL Well, what do you expect an application that allocates infinite memory to do once the system doesn't have any more memory to allocate ? ;) Does switching off memory overcommit make your system behave in the desired way ? |
