12h after server restart ps aux | grep java returns this.

Approximately 24 later the amount of workers (?) doubles and keeps growing until the server runs out of memory.

Why is that?

My system:

• Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
• Java 1.7.0_09
• YUI compressor 0.9.6
• Rails 3.2.8
• Ruby 1.9.3

Can you provide some more information on how you're calling YUI::Compressor? Also, you should try again with the latest version of yui-compressor.

I just don't have enough information to take action. Closing for now.
