There's nothing in the logs, and no core dump - it never actually *dies*, either: 1) The child threads die, and on the following request they respawn 2) Only one child thread dies, the parents parent gets a SIGSTOP and the process becomes unresponsive. The application is... complex. I'll try to replicate it the behaviour as a smaller sample tomorrow...

FYI - it appears to be the _number_ of parameters. If I call the DTML document with 12 parameters (context,REQUEST,p0=0,...p11=11) it fails under load, anything less than that (i.e. drop *any* one or more of the paramters) and it's ok.

Nothing shows up in the log? Is there a core dump? I can't replicate this using the latest from the 2.3 branch. Could you send me a .zexp? Cheers, Evan @ digicool
