Unless I'd already taken precautions and it remained a problem, I
wouldn't bother. There are leaks everywhere, and not just in Perl.
It might not be zlib that's the culprit, could be the server just
happened to run out when it needed some.
You can use something to monitor the server like Stas' Apache::Watchdog.
Setting MaxRequestsPerChild to a low value might help. That way maybe
bloated children get will killed off before they can cause a problem.
I use something in the region of 30 to 100 most of the time but most
people think that's too low. It depends on how much you're struggling
for performance.
