Description

I have a simple mtom service written in Axis2/C which receives requests from clients with attachments. I wrote a client to consume this service and ran a test in a loop with 4 mb attachments. I noticed that the apache server ran out of memory and became very unresponsive after about 45 mins and then core dumped. The server response seemed to improve after some of the threads/processes died due to lack of memory and new threads were created to process the request.
