Thanks Chuck. It's really disconcerting since I have had times where I checked on the server and it has 12 hung httpd threads consuming 100% processor.
I am running the built-in version on Snow Leopard. It reports that it is 2.2.14. If it is WO specific, the same app did not exhibit this behavior on another server. I'm considering whether I could log every request the app generates and see if I can match up the request (or even the method that was run) with the time that the hung process was spawned? Or maybe httpd has some advanced logging that could tell me something. Love to hear if anyone else has seen anything similar and how it got addressed.
