fequent crashes of dicom server

  • Hi there!
    I would like to get some advices related to dicom server crash occured frequently last week at our site.
    We are using conquest dicom server to receive x-ray angiography and digital radiography images from 3 different stations. Everything worked fine until now, but last week we've had serious server crashes almost each day.
    The crashes occured in the middle of c-store and were related to a specific station, which sends to our PACS secondary captured angiography series. Crashes produced closure of dgate.exe as well as freezing of conquest GUI. Keep alive function was not able to restart the server, so I installed an application monitor software which could restart dgate.exe immediately in order to mantain PACS alive, but images was lost.
    It could be related to upgrading to v. 1.4.16 ? That was the only change I made.


    The serverstatus error is:

  • Hi,


    the crash occurs in Realloc which is not part of normal operation when adding images. It occurs:


    in your importconverter0: but that cannot get so huge memory requirements
    in some decompression or downsizeing; but not for your VID image to 'UN'
    when displaying images (is 'show incoming' checked?)


    Curious what the debug logs tell me.


    Marcel
