 PerlFreshRestart was completely unused, then explicitly set Off.
 I have two handlers, which seem to work well.  My logs report nothing
 amiss aside from the stream of segmentation faults killing off my
 server children, usually several in quick succession, then minutes or
 hours apart.  This makes me think it's usage-based (duh), but I can't
 seem to pin it down.
 
 And there are no core files.  Shouldn't a segmentation fault that kills
 a process produce a core file?  What gives? I even logged in as root
 and did a "find / -name 'core'", in case it was dumping it in some
 obscure spot off the normal web directories.  Not a single hit.  We
 don't have gdb on this server, but I assumed it was GNUware and was
 going to install it -- but doesn't it need a core file?
 
 I hate to even post this, but I'm completely baffled.
 I have users trying to hit the site from bookmarks, and getting the
 "document contained no data" popup; I can only assume it's my children
 segfaulting, and on no particular page.

core files might not be produced depending on the user your server runs
as, i think ulimit can change that or something, but don't know off the
top of my head.  if you can't reproduce the problem at will, attach to a
any apache child (make sure it's not the parent!) with gdb (see the
SUPPORT doc for hints) and wait for a segv.  then pass along `bt' and
`curinfo' to us.

 What OS?

uname -a says
"HP-UX uap5 B.10.20 C 9000/891 373319211 32-user license"

(And we only recently managed to get an upgrade to 10.2, so this is
what we've got ... also, if you're familiar with PA-RISC1.1 9000/891,
it's a 4 (90MHz) processor machine with about 640 MB of RAM, and around
230GB of disk space -- though that's largely old MTI drives, with some
SCSI's interspersed ... and they've even branched disk arrays off other
disk arrays to get that much space.  NOT a new box, but she's always
been dependable.)
