[ic] interchange crashing?

[John Beima]

We have had a fair number of unique crashes as well, as of late...

They all occur with the new "rpc" mode... It is kinda very funny... We have 200
sites on one machine, only one of which is based on the foundation template...
It is the ONLY catalog that crashes... All of our custom made ones run fine...

We have another server with 18 custom made catalogs and 1 continues to freeze...

The interesting thing is is you alter the "rpc" settings to allow each server to
process no more than 40 requests instead of 100 the crashes seem to totally
dissappear... They have gone from 6 or 7 locks a day to 4 days with no
crashes... My buess is there is a memory leak in "rpc" mode... The change we
made was to start up 10 servers instead of 5 because of the drops in requests
allowed to each server...

Hope this helps someone out...
