[Mono-list] mono app receives SIGSEGV after running for 20 hours!!

[S Umadevi]

Hi Gonzalo
 Had a look at the code, There was a while true loop where the listener
callback object was getting created and the socket usage in the callback
was not correct. Once these are corrected, I guess we will not see the
issue anymore..

Regards
uma

You might still have a leak by keeping references to objects around.

mod-mono-server (xsp module in svn) does exactly that. I've never
tried
running it for 24 hours with no clients, but with clients, it works
fine.

No. mod-mono-server does much more than that and no problems at all.

I'd recommend using 1.1.7 instead.
