[Orca-users] orca/perl dies with "Out of memory!' message

[Yung, Michael Roy (Mike)]

For the last few weeks, orca is consistently dying after running 1 to 2
hours with message "Out of memory!"

 

I have tried adjusting the max stacksize and max open files using
ulimit.

I tried both Perl 5.8.6 and perl 5.8.8.

I have tried both orca  versions orca-0.27 and orca-snapshot-r535.

I have tried running it with both solaris9  and solaris10

I am running this on a Sun V210 with 4GB memory.  Orca is the ONLY thing
running on the V210.

 

When I start it up, I see perl running which eventually spawns a bunch
(80 or so) of bunzip2 processes.

The perl process memory usage seems to grow very quickly, and then
stabilizes for a while before it eventually dies.

 

# ps -eafl | grep perl

 0 S     root  3533     1   3  39 20        ? 519455        ? 10:07:53
pts/2      43:32 /usr/local/bin/perl -w /usr/local/bin/orca
/usr/local/etc/orcallator.cfg

 

Has anyone seen this or have any ideas about how to get orca working
again?
