[Mono-dev] Debugging Out of Memory Exceptions

[Bryan Murphy]

We have a long running process that processes many many small messages and
infrequent multi gig files.  Occasionally, an OutOfMemoryException is
thrown.  When this happens, the process gets into a funky state and nothing
works properly until I restart it.  I'm not that experienced debugging
memory issues on mono on linux, so I could use some help.

1. Can I have a mono process sigseg and exit completely when an
OutOfMemoryException is thrown?

2. Can I automatically take a memory snapshot only when OutOfMemoryException
is thrown for later analysis?

3. Any other advice on how I can find the culprit when it happens only
occasionally in the production environment usually when nobody is looking
and the process has been running for a few days?

Thanks,
Bryan
