Hi All,
I Know I need to update some of this but it had been running fine for quite a while.

        WebObjects 5.3.3
        OS X 10.4.11
        Java  1.5.0_13-b05-241
        WONDER 3 from a March-03-2007 Daily build
        Frontbase  4.2.7

"All of a sudden" The application is hanging often. No good idea why. Running ~10 instances of the the same code base with different launch params to connect to different client DB's

Many of the instances for will hang. The DB seems fine and we don't see all the instances for any DB fail at once. If no one hits the app they seem to stay fine such as over the weekend. Otherwise they seem to die at least once a day. The more heavily used die more often but the very lightly used die also.

I did a netstat and found many CLOSE_WAIT when the instances were hung but don't know if that is relevant.

My initial guess is that this is just a symptom of the problem.


We did deploy new features recently but no "major"  type changes.

Ideas? Suggestions?

The symptoms sound like deadlock to me. It does not take a major change to cause this. You will need a thread dump to diagnose further. You can find instructions here: http://www.gvcsitemaker.com/gvc.webobjects/faq&mode=single&recordID=41413
