I think i found a "workaround" for this problem.
After set the trace_syslog to 5 i also changed this:

#
# Child process is restarted after handling this many connections.
#
MAXCONNECTS           = 100

#
# Child process will restart after this many connection errors.
#
MAX_ERRORS            = 5

After that, no more hangs.. Decrease MAXCONNECTS seems to help.

I hope this could be useful for who is exeperiencing this problem.

Regars from Italy,
Ettore
