Hi all,

I've come across an extremely nasty bug in the mpm-peruser. It's caused 
so many problems, that I've had to drop it from our production servers. 
It would appear, that in a load test of 5000 requests on a static file, 
half of the requests are being 503'd...

For a small server, it's good, but for a large scale production, it's 
not cutting it :(

Anyone have any idea why this might be?
