Re^5: How to determine what the memory-limits of a CGI app are?

I really haven't cleanly reproduced the same failure scenario... yet

Just play with different memory limits... I'm pretty sure there will be one which produces the same failure you observe in the CGI environment.

And now the problem really becomes what to do about it. I need to discover the “wasteful” memory-allocations wherever they might be found... Heck, I guess I gotta start by finding memory-allocations, period ... What would you advise me to do here, to “trim the fat” and get this app quickly into operational condition? Truth be told, I guess I haven't had to deal with “a real memory limit” in a very long time. But it's also pretty obvious that the app is a pig. `:-D`
