>How-To-Repeat: Just use a perl script with an infinite loop of some kind, eating memory for good measure. >Fix: Modify the function child_main in the file http_main.c so that it calls the setrlimit functions. I have made these modifications myself, creating a common procedure which can be called by child_main and call_exec so as to minimize codesize and duplication in the source.
