I have 2.2.x(some SNAP before 2.2.5R) and 2.2.5 as well as some 2.1 systems on which portmap dies periodically. I can not catch the rules of those failures, i.e. what causes them to fail, but here is the message from /var/log/messages: Mar 5 07:47:38 serge portmap[87]: svc_run: - select failed: No child processes Mar 5 07:47:38 serge /kernel: pid 87 (portmap), uid 1: exited on signal 6 Mar 5 07:47:38 serge portmap[87]: svc_run returned unexpectedly Mar 7 15:26:50 serge portmap[5014]: svc_run: - select failed: No child processes Mar 7 15:26:50 serge /kernel: pid 5014 (portmap), uid 1: exited on signal 6 Mar 7 15:26:50 serge portmap[5014]: svc_run returned unexpectedly the deal is select() should *not* return "no child processes" according to man pages... The high load could not be the issue with my host, it could be with the others though...
