Nodemgr process consuming memory

Question

All,
We have a problem we've been experiencing for some time where the nodemgr
process starts consuming over 2gig of memory - at the OS level and locking up
our server at times. This happened on Solaris 2.6
with various older versions of Forte and we were told that upgrading to
version 3J1 would resolve it.
Unfortunately, it hasn't resolved the problem. It has happened again to an
application written in 3J1 on Unix Sun Solaris 2.6.
Forte is saying that no other company has experienced this problem with 3J1 on
Solaris 2.6. Please let me know if you have so I can relate this to Forte.
Thanks,
Peggy Adrian

With J1 I don't remember it happened ...
But, my 2cents : to save the OS , set a user limit of virtual memory
usage:
I use bash, I set it with ulimit -v 256000 to 256MB.
Interestingly when Forte crashes, it uses almost that amount of memory,
and one processor (we have a dual machine). And not more (that's why the
system can't kill it :) )
By the way, we have experienced some ftexec failures (memory and CPU
consumption) with J1 too, but since they were not reproducable, we did not
reported them. My tip : there may be a problem around the garbage
collection routine (that is just a tip from the outside). It seem to
happen when something made lots of objects, and consumed lots of memory.
