Runs fine while load is light. But under load (approx. 100 virtual hosts taking about 700 cumulative hits a minute), the parent and most children will suddenly die off, with a single child remaining as a zombie. Subsequent attempts to restart httpd fail since Port 80 is already bound by the zombie child. Prior to the collapse, odd behavior is noticed, such as references to a particular virtual host end up bringing up a totally different virtual host site, or there is a failure to connect at all. A reboot is necessary to get the server back up, but will eventually collapse again with exact same state. No core file to be found. >How-To-Repeat: We can reproduce it just fine by running it, which we don't do anymore! :-) I'm sure you may have suggestions for items (module lists, etc.). Please ask for anything you need and I'll be happy to assist. >Fix: Go back to 1.3a1. %0 >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
