----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
From time to time we are seeing Apache processes grow to huge size (2GB of
VM) bringing osgeo1 to it's knees with swapping. It is still unclear what
requests are causing this, but I *suspect* big Trac diff operations.

Comment:

In an effort to avoid this occuring I have changed /usr/sysconfig/httpd to
use ulimit to limit the maximum size of an httpd process to 256MB. Any
process that grows larger than that will die immediately.

This has only been done on osgeo1.
