           Summary: WebService consumes all CPU over time
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Runtime

An strace pulled during the time of the error.

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64;
Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729;
OfficeLiveConnector.1.5; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; .NET4.0C)

The operating system is Centos 5.4 running Apache 2.2.3-43.e15.centos under
mono 2.6.4 (tarball Jul 20 2010).

After a period of 24-72 hours of running mod mono, the process will consume all
available cores on the system regardless of usage.  The average load is around
800 requests a second to a webservice.   During testing, the webservice was
simplified to contain a thread sleep of 50 millisconds and return an empty
generic list as follows:

[WebMethod]
public List<MyObj> GetValues()
{
    Thread.Sleep(50);  
    return new List<MyObj>();
}

Removing the Thread.Sleep appears to allow the service to run for a period of
over a week but eventually top will indicate mono consuming most, if not all,
cores on the system.

Note:  Recycling of mono is not configured for the site and there is no cron
job recycling apache/mono nightly.  

Hardware Information for test server:

CPU:  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU  X5680  @ 3.33GHz (24 core)
Memory:  16GB

<<Strace during failure attached>>


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Simulate web service requests at a rate of 800/sec to the service as
described above.
2. Allow to run for a period 72 hours.

Actual Results:  
Top indicates cpu usage equal to 90 percent+ of the overall processing power.  


Expected Results:  
No unexplained increase in CPU.
