| product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 910 - DB2 | |
| Problem description: | |
If a DB2 agent fails to allocate sub-agent due to insufficient
"appl_ctrl_heap_sz", you see following error messages in
db2diag.log:

DIA8300C A memory heap error has occurred.
==============================================
As a result, the DB2 agent receives a SIGSEGV and DB2 instance
crashes.
In the trap file for the DB2 agent which receives SIGSEGV, you
see call stack similar to the following:
==============================================
sqlmoFreeHeap
sqleSubCoordTerm
sqleSubCoordProcessRequest
......
