Steve mentioned memory shortage before. If this is the case, you usually
don't see much in the logs. Other problems are that the data collection
can just take a very long time. For the current algorithm, the processing
time increases more than linear with the number of nodes and segments to
be delivered (only a problem for larger requests). This, combined with
memory shortage can lead to swap activity, which lead to times like "2
days" to complete the request.


It is not uncommon that connections does not get resetted in case of
errors (although it would be good if they were, of course), especally
things like out of memory.


Ciao, Imi
