Same problem also exposed on BSDI 3.0 >Description: When running under BSDI, pages containing EXEC correctly spawn children but the child process is left hanging around. This takes the server to the max user limit very quickly, if the pages is frequently accessed, making apache unable to serve further requests. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: I'm not sure about how this should be done. I have heard that one solution might be setting SIGCHLD to SIGIGNORE in the parent or the child, but haven't been able to get it to work. >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.
