I updated/upgraded my main VMS system (rx2600) to the VSI Community
stuff (VMS V8.4-2L3, et al.) last week, without too much pain.
Since then, on multiple occasions, I've caught one or both CPUs being
occupied 100% by one (or two) of those APACHE$SWS00xx subprocesses.
(When the second one appears, the system seems to slow noticeably.
Which did not amaze me.) I never saw this behavior before installing
the new software. (Before I shut it down for the update, up-time was
about 888 days, which seemed to me to be a fair sample size.)
In some cases, SYS$STARTUP:APACHE$SHUTDOWN.COM does not kill them all
(within a minute or so, at least). STOP /IDENT works.
The only significant changes to the http.conf file should be those
required by the new version. (Remove "AcceptMutex vmsdlm" and
"DefaultTypetext", fiddle with the LoadModule directives, ...) But, in
any case, I wouldn't expect anything legal to cause such runaway
processes.
Am I the first/only one to observe this?
Is there any useful information which an ignoramus might collect to
help someone who knew something to analyze the problem?
P.S. Just happened again, APACHE$SWS000E
