Do you know what that does under the hood? I'd guess it either wraps or replaces apachectl on your system and performs restart, probably graceful. A graceful restart is rather slow: it takes time to complete requests it is serving rather than abort anything mid-request. If you restart again while an already- closing-down-and-orphaned process is still running, you're putting yourself at high risk of edge-case crashes. > Backtrace: Hehehe.

What's it seeking to free? It's coming from deep in layers of third-party libs, and it even looks as if php/zend is managing mysql directly rather than using apr_dbd. There's nothing from any Apache-related software until: > : , { "address": 140274087330830 > : , "build_id": "89ceb54f2d4d09bff13fc2fe35390934ec9e2581" > : , "build_id_offset": 103438 > : , "function_name": "apr_pool_clear" > : , "file_name": "/usr/lib64/libapr-1.so.0.4.8” > : } That's a bizarre filename, and gives no clue what APR version you're using!

A second-best that might work for you is to use it in a fastcgi configuration rather than loaded into the server. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
