I'm posting here rather than the php list since it seems to be a general Linux
problem. I have a 'clean' Mandriva 2008.0 installation of Linux, with Apache
2.2.6, PHP 5.2.4 and Firebird 2 -V6.3.3.12981
http://lsces.co.uk/PHP/testphpinfo.php

Firebird is currently running classic, but I suspect that I should be running
super? Access to Firebird is via PHP and Flamerobin and only a couple of other
machines have Flamerobin access.

Over time fb_inet_server processes open but do not close so eventually I run
out of processes. I've increased the number available in inet, but unless I do
a killall from time to time the machine gets into a state where the database
is not accessible.

All the manual checking I do creates and drops processes so what should I be
doing to find out why some processes are 'sticking' ?
