Apache::ASP locking up

[Warren Young]

We have a site where Apache::ASP appears to be locking up every few 
days.  If we rm -r /tmp/asp, the system begins responding again.

We've upgraded to the latest Apache::ASP, and it doesn't help.  The 
system is a Red Hat Linux 7.3 machine running Apache 1.3.27-4.  None of 
our many other sites are having this problem, to the best of our 
knowledge.  (They're not under our direct control.)  On the other hand, 
we have an incredible diversity in our installed systems.  So, there's 
no telling whether the problem is the machine's software configuration, 
or it's part of the environment the machine is being used in, or it's 
the users.

Here's what 'ls -lR /tmp/asp' says:

The only thing that looks out of place to me is that the *.pag files 
here are larger than some others I looked at.  This site gets an average 
of a about 5500 hits per day.
