Gents, I know that in certain circles, PHP has not a good reputation( security) Untill know, i had never any problems. I have a machine, not directly connected to the Net, and the only php application on it is "cacti". Yesterday, coming home i found the machine unresponsive, it did reply to "ping", but that was all i could see (console dead, no reply to ssh) After rebooting i found this in messages (below). This section of "messages" repeated about hundred times Is this a know feature of 10.1?? If there's a runaway process, too bad, that's life, it can happen. But ending up in an endless loop is not good at all. As it states "free swap = 0kb" it looks like a kernel process has eaten all the mem, and that php gives the final trigger! As it only happened once: i'll guess it's not reproducable.
