[rt-users] RT becoming unstable / unable to add attachments (requires apache restart to fix?)

[Rodney Caston]

We're having a strange problem where by a ticket(s) will accept image
attachments fine for awhile, then suddenly, any attachments made to it
no longer get stored corrected, a red X / box is displayed (broken link)
and even trying to save the attachment off results in a corrupted file.

The only way to fix this issue is to restart Apache, after doing so -
the tickets accept attachments normally again.  However, any attachments
made before the start are obviously still corrupted data.

Has anyone else had this issue of Apache needing to be restarted in
order to allow attachments to process correctly again?
