>Description:
Eventually there will be 150 copies of the daemon running, which is
what I have the max defined as. It only started happening after I upgraded
to 1.2.5. Of course coincidences do happen, but it's awefully suspecious.
It's like all these dead daemons are just sitting there, taking up slots,
and it makes the server very slow at answering requests, because it's sitting
there waiting for a slot to free up.
Seems like something isn't closing properly.
And most of them don't seem to be doing anything, ps will show them as (httpd)
>How-To-Repeat:
It just happens. I haven't really investigated it that closely.
I think the server might have to get busy, because it only happens about
once a day.
>Fix:
If this is the first you guys have heard of it, i'll look into it more.
Otherwise I'll just wait for a patch.
