Re: [APC-DEV] APC doesn't free file handles

Hello,

the number of httpds varies between 20 and 40, MaxClients is 80,
MaxRequestsPerChild is default (0).

OS is Linux 2.6.15.

APC has been configured without options. The only apc setting in php.ini
is "apc.gc_ttl=5400", the rest is default.

I'm sending a USR1 to Apache once per hour for log rotation.

Thanks so far...

Steve
