| |
some more info I found out. friggin' weird. I graph mem free with MRTG. usually it shows like 3-4MB free all the time. since 10am yesterday until now, when i rebooted with 2.2.3, it's been showing 50-100MB free (fluctuating). Also, here's the kicker, one of our web domain customers emailed me saying that his cgis have been reporting "out of memory" errors and that they started at about, you guessed it, 10am. more memory free, memory errors. less memory free, no memory errors.
what the heck?
