That fixed the problem. So, is this the right solution? Should configure always
assume --disable-threads when it sees --with-mpm=prefork?
Given that this problem does not show up with low numbers of children, I am kind
of wondering if disabling threads is just covering up some problem that should
not affect prefork.
Thoughts?
