How do you handle requests? Do you start threads or subprocesses? – Aaron Digulla Aug 15 '13 at 07:55

1Is your server on linux? Have you look at `/var/log/kern.log`? – Oscerd Aug 15 '13 at 08:18

The exact log file varies dependingon distribution and configuration, but if you do
ls -ldrat /var/log/* it will show the most recently edited logfiles at the bottom. The files messages,dmesg and daemon are all likely sources of information.
Possible reasons are:
- memory exception (i.e. segfault)
- process limits breach (to many File descriptors or processes being opened) - check
/etc/security/limits.confand surrounding files - SElinux (if enabled) - that should have been logged to messages.
