    Just the webserver or all bbs services? Occasionally I have the
    webserver lock up but everything else is still going ok. I will check
    out my log for some of those things.

    Thanks!

    Is it still happening? If so, see http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:gdb and hoping you can provide a backtrace so we can fix it.

    I have not seen it happen again. As it locks up, rather than seg faulting, will gdb actually have anything to backtrace?

    Everything. That was the last entry until I found it about twelve hours
    later. No Binkit inbounds or outbounds, no QWK network activity, no
    inbound email activity, or anything else after that.

    The only way I could get it to "do anything" was by issuing a SIGKILL.

    Yes. Ideally, you would also identify which thread(s) were blocked possibly by using top.
