I also thought the following would be helpful: This is the error log
from this morning, it
is confusing to me that the information messages say, for example,
spawning 8, 9 idle, 49 total children while the ps ouput at that time
shows only 18 processes.
Attached are the error log for a certain period and below that is the
number of proccesses
running at each time corresponding to the error log.

NOTE:
Ther server stopped actually serving at around 9:40 though there were
processes still running. Also the number of processes in the list above
does not include in the count
the parent process which is owned by root.
Is there any other info that would be useful? An strace?
