Hi!
Stefan Fritsch:
Some processes are in "stopping" state but are not dying. They accumulate
until the scoreboard is full.
First you should verify with ps if the processes with the PIDs in the "(old
gen)" lines still exist. If not, it is a bug in apache itself (probably in
mpm_event).
They do indeed still exist in the process table. Just looking at the
command lines doesn't tell me much as they are all apache2
forks/threads, but see below:
# apachectl status 2>&1 |awk '/old gen/ { print "tr \"\\0\" \" \" < /proc/" $2
"/cmdline; echo" }' | sh
/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
If they do, one needs to find out why they are not dying. This is likely the
fault of some module.
The server is running Trac with its default configuration, there might
be something that has changed there?

The processes do indeed seem to be from Trac, here is one example:
# ls -l /proc/210869/fd

l-wx------ 1 root root 64 dec 14 09:19 9 -> '/var/log/apache2/access.log.1

Should I reassign the bug to Trac instead?
