Reproducible: Intermittent

Greetings,

I have a server that crashes a lot. All the kings horses and all of the kings men (IBM support) have not been able to help for almost a year. So, I have been chasing windmills of my own trying to figure out what's wrong.

My current windmill is a process called kvoop.exe that constantly has about 20+ processes running on our server at all times. We've had no luck with several PMR's trying to figure out what they are or what's causing them... but luckily, we had a IBM server guy in for a "health check." He explained that it is CLIENT connections that are creating the kvoop sessions and if a "drop all" was issued it would drop the kvoops. We tested it after he left and he was right.

From what I know... kvoop is used for domain indexing or indexing attachments. We are doing neither. I have checked multiple times.

Why is the client generating a kvoop session on the server? I can understand if a kvoop process starts on their computer, not the server.

I appreciate any ideas or feedback.

p.s. In case you're wondering about my crashes. Every crash (except one) has this signature:

- The HTTP stack crashes
- It is caused by a url that uses "&Highlight="
- NSD of the fatal thread:
