I posted this about a month ago and peter asked for a stack trace. I didn't get the error again until yesterday and here is the stack trace and what I posted before.
Traceback (most recent call last): File "./ab.py", line 240, in ? main() File "./ab.py", line 217, in main abThread.start() File "/usr/lib/python2.2/threading.py", line 396, in start _start_new_thread(self.__bootstrap, ()) thread.error: can't start new thread I'm at a loss on this one. I have a multithreaded script that gets 'thread.error: can't start new thread' errors randomly. I just got it right after starting the script when it was trying to create the 5th thread. Usually the script will run for a while before throwing this error, but sometimes it throws it right away. This script has worked without a problem for months, but I did make some changes recently. I don't see how those changes would cause this error though. It's also on a VPS so it's possible that they changed something in the OS. Does anyone have any suggestions about possible causes of this error? I'm using Python 2.2.3 on a custom vps version of FC1. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
