linux 2.2.19pre and thttpd (VM-global problem?)

Hi again,

After more-than-expected amount of hours spent on this, i managed to localize the problem and found a partial solution.
I ran a series of test with thttpd compiled on rh6 and rh7 serving a couple of files on different kernels. In the first run i used 6 average sized mp3s and could not reproduce the problem, but then i added a couple of 100mb and 200mb mpeg videos and boing, there it was.

libc
kernel version result

2.2.18raid 2.1.3 ok
2.2.18raid 2.1.94 ok
2.2.18cdhs 2.1.3 crash at the third simultaneous connection
2.2.18cdhs 2.1.94 ok
2.2.19pre3aa4 2.1.3 ok
2.2.19pre3aa4 2.1.94 ok
2.4.0-test10 2.1.3 ok
2.4.0-test10 2.1.94 ok

Now i use thttpd statically compiled with newer libc with the 2.2.18cdhs on the box that was making problems before and so far it runs smooth. If anyone is interested of strace outputs of above tests and wants to discover the source of the problem, i can help.
