Well after turning on vebose garbage collect I found out what the "hang"
really is. For some reason the garbage collector gets in a state where
it tries to do a full GC but cannot for some unknown reason. Here is
what the verbose gc looks like on the hang:
7007.950: [Full GC [PSYoungGen: 157503K->157492K(206656K)] [PSOldGen:
699071K->699071K(699072K)
] 856575K->856564K(905728K) [PSPermGen: 115222K->115222K(115520K)],
1.1234380 secs]
7009.075: [Full GC [PSYoungGen: 157504K->157504K(206656K)] [PSOldGen:
699071K->699071K(699072K)
] 856575K->856575K(905728K) [PSPermGen: 115222K->115222K(115520K)],
1.1220980 secs]
7010.198: [Full GC [PSYoungGen: 157504K->157504K(206656K)] [PSOldGen:
699071K->699071K(699072K)
] 856575K->856575K(905728K) [PSPermGen: 115222K->115222K(115520K)],
1.1215690 secs]
this repeats forever...
I was actually able to get a thread dump but I don't really know what to
look for. I realize this is almost certainly not a tomcat issue so I
won't post anymore about it, but I thought I would just give an
update. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Hello and thanks in advance for any advice.
We have Tomcat 5.5.20 running standalone on the following system:
Dual AMD Opteron
4 gig of memory
Debian Linux 2.6.8 amd64 smp kernel
latest sun java 1.5, 1.6, ibm 1.5 (happens on all 3 VM's)
Tomcat 5.5.20 (originally happened on 5.5.16, upgrade didn't help)
Randomly it will hang and stop accepting connections on port 80,
sometimes even late at night when there is not much traffic.
When the hang occurs:
* Can't access any web app on tomcat including the tomcat manager
* Telnet to port 80 hangs(Coyote running on port 80)
* load goes up, but only slightly (from < 1 to maybe 3 or 4)
* sometimes after a couple of minutes it starts responding again,
sometimes it doesn't.
* when I run shutdown.sh the java process continues to run and I have
to kill -9 to stop it
* I try to do a kill -3 or kill -QUIT on the java process to get a
thread dump, but it does not work
I have tried many different jvm settings and tomcat connector
settings, here is what I have currently:
<Connector port="80" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="1000" minSpareThreads="50" maxSpareThreads="100"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" strategy="ms"
disableUploadTimeout="false" />
CATALINA_OPTS="-server -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -ms512m -mx1280m -Xss96k
-Djava.awt.headless=true"
I would really appreciate any advice, I really don't know where to go
from here to try and figure it out. If I can't figure it out soon my
plan is to use apache2 as the webserver and connect to tomcat via JK.
Thanks so much for your expert advice!
