We are using apache 2.0 as our web server running in SunOS 5.10.
From time to time we have runaway process which will comsume huge amount of CPU, something like 30 - 60%.
If we don't restart the apache instance there will be no access to the web page.
How can we find out what cause the runaway process?

Do you use infinite loop in PHP? mod_rewrite? htaccess?
Are you able to attach debugger to the process to see what is inside?

We have 2 web servers and running Vignette as content management system on 2 app servers. We don't have PHP and htaccess but we do have a lot mod_rewrite rule defined.
What is debugger, core dump?

You mention commercial product - it is a good idea to ask THEIR already paid support to help out.
I have generated the core dump. I need to analyze it. I need to install gdb in our unix box. Any idea what is better tool? I don't have much experience on analyzing core dump since I am a developer. Might need your help on this.
