I think I isolated what happened and can stop it from occuring again even though I don't really know why it causes a crash. Basically I can cause the crash to occur when I create large amounts of file backed non-synced shared memory (about 1 GB) and write to it with random acces just before apache shuts down. The solution is to not do that anymore ;) Now that I have that issue out of the way I'm not having any problems and it seems stable... -Tom __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
