There's actually watchdog timer code in the linux ds which is intended to prevent this - if a given server frame takes "too long", presumably because of something like an infinite loop, deadlock, etc, the alarm() system call should cause it to die with SIGALRM, which will cause the parent process to restart it. I belive this in on by default (disable-able by -nowatchdog), though at a fairly long time-out.

I had a few servers crash while in a fork and they restarted just fine. I've yet to run into a server freezing up, but I can see where that would cause it to not restart.
