[Serusers] Memory errors

I think it is not shared memory, but private memory what is exhausted
because the logs you provided shows functions that do not use shared
memory.

When this happen, can you send SIGUSR1 to the first ser process ? It
should print some memory statistics. Can you then send them to us ?

To me it looks like a memory leak. How quickly is the memory exhausted ?
Immediately after you start the server or after some time ? Can you
reproduce it ?
