process size

[nandamuri]

I have two processes (corba servers) communicating with each other. server A keeps on calling calling methods on server B. Now server B process size is increaing rapidly. After a while server B crashes. There are no memory leaks. Looks like server B is not able to handle that many calls. What are the limiting factors for a process size.Does the OS kills a process when it reaches a certain size?.Any suggestions on how to stop the OS from killing the process.
Thanks

Try looking into

Thanks levw for your reply. I have goe through those docs earlier but not much info. Here let me describe the problem again.
Our application runs on AIX 432. We have two processes (corba servers) communicating with each other.
"When server "A" is sending lot of events to server "B" the server process size is increasing rapidly.
After a while server "B" is crashing. There are no memory leaks(yes i used purify). When the servers "SIZE" (used ps vg)reaches 66M and "RSS" reaches 70M the process is crashing.what can i do to avoid the
crash."

In one of the docs you refered it said that if the SIZE in PS V increases rapidly that means it is memory leaks. By looking at the SIZE even i thought it is memory leak. But when i did a purify(on SOLARIS26) i didn't fine any problems.

Now i commented the entire implementation of the method in server B (lets say state event) which is being called rapidly. Now this method dodn't do anything.
it will looks like this

void stateEvent(...)
{
/*
*******
*/
}//end.
Even with out any implementation the SIZE is increasing rapidly. Do you have any suggestion on why this is happening. Actually the behaviour is same on both platforms.

Thanks for the earlier reply.
