[plug] 2.2.11 Out of memory

[Brad Campbell]

G'day all..
Using 2 machines.. both with 2.2.11 on them..
using lftp to mirror a win95 partition onto an ext2 partition..
In both directions.. after about 200mb over a 10baseT Ethernet
the machine doing the reading dies from an out of memory error..
just gives out of memory messages for every running process on the
console, then locks up solid.. 
Drop back to 2.0.35 and of course it works fine both ways..

memory leak in the tcp/ip stack in 2.2.11 ?

Or any other pointers ?

It's a very reproducible fault.. just ftp more than about 200mb
over the ethernet, and the machine sourcing the data will fall
over.. Not that good when it's your main fileserver.
Just glad it happened now and not during working hours when it's
serving 10 windows boxes..

Come to think of it, that might explain why the server has been
falling over about every 25 days or so.. A Cumulative memory leak
somewhere perhaps.. Never happened with 2.2.6..
