That got it. I cannot thank you enough. The sites are smokin' now.
Recap for interested parties:
* Solaris 2.7
* mod_perl 1.21
Observed bugs:
* occassional httpd processes stop responding
* they stay in 'run' state (via 'top')
* only print 'brk(...)' on occasion via 'truss'
* utilyze all available CPU
* continuously allocate more mem into heap (/usr/proc/bin/pmap)
Cause (Please correct me if this is not correct):
* AUTOLOADing of Apache::Constants::OPT_EXECCGI() can cause this to occur
Fix:
Preload Apache::Constants::OPT_EXECCGI() in either PerlRequire'd file or
<Perl> section
(Thanks to Chris Remshaw for coming up with it and to Doug MacEachern for
pointing it out to me)
Lessons (re)?learned:
* gdb and debugging versions are your friend
* Check the CVS tree for fixes and reports - who know, you might actually find
the answer
* You definately find better products in the bazaar than in the cathedral
