Child Process Killed

[Tejaswi Nadahalli]

I found a couple of other threads involving the OOM killer.

<http://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/pipermail/varnish-misc/2009-June/002838.html>In
both these cases, they had quite a few purge requests which added purge
records which never got expired and that might have caused the out of
control memory growth.

I have a similar situation - with purges happening every 15 minutes.

Mar 22 06:31:35 ip-10-116-105-253 varnishd[1491]: CLI telnet 127.0.0.1 60642
127.0.0.1 2000 Rd purge req.url ~ ^/\\?idsite=18&url=http%3A%2F%
2Fwww.people.com%2Fpeople%2Farticle%2F

These are essentially the 'same' purges that are fired every 15 minutes. Do
I have to setup the ban lurker to avoid out of control memory growth?
