Crashing very often

[jaychristopher spendbitcoins.com]

I have bitcoind running on my ubuntu web host and it crashes every half hour or so. I'm not sure what is causing it but I just found an error that shows in SSH when it occurs:

*****************
EXCEPTION: N5boost21thread_resourc_errorR
boost::thread_resource_error
bitcoin in ThreadRPCServer()

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::thread_resource_error'
 what():   boost:thread_resource_error                /path/to/bitcoind


Any ideas why this would happen?

I just noticed also that the CPU is at 92% on the bitcoind process

Which version of the source, and what kind of RPC commands are you sending?

I didn't write that name, the site admin changed it as per request and typo'd..

its 0.6.2 and mostly getting addresses, sending coins to an address and getting the balance.

All commands I use:

getaccountaddress
getbalance
sendtoaddress
listrecievedbyaddress

It looks like I fixed it. I had a cron job looking up all of the 0 confirmation orders every minute, and it just taxed the system too hard.
Thanks

I have the same problem.. are there other with this? What could also cause this error?

i suppose both of you run on low end VPS. Had the same issue on Virtualminer at that time.
Try to trim MaxConnection and - all Linux guys, please turn head away - try to run Bitcoind as root.. if it doesnt crash anymore you will most likely need to increase ram sometime.

Just confirming, jaychristopher is indeed on the spendbitcoins team.
