e I expect prefork on Solaris still to observe timeouts during proxy tests like reported for previous versions, but didn't test it this time due to the long test runs when the problem happens. I started these runs right now just to be able to report, whether the old problem is still there or has changed.
Wrong expectation here: this problem seems to no longer happen, at least in 14 applicable test runs it didn't show up. The old info about the problem was:
Not observed for static builds. Only builds based on APR/APU 1.6.x seem to have the problem. First observed when testing 2.4.26. It seems processes die due to Solaris mutex deadlock detection for the accept mutex (false positive). Such processes get not replaced until we end up with only one prefork child, which of course can't serve proxy requests. Regards, Rainer
