I have noticed some weird behavior lately, but unfortunately I'm not 
sure when it started.  Apache processed are being spawned regularly on 
my FreeBSD 4.6 machine, but they never die.  In other words, a new one 
is spawned every few hours, as long as hits are coming in, but no 
processes ever die.  Eventually there are dozens, even hundreds of httpd 
processes accumulated, and Apache stops responding.  Doing

apachectl stop
apachectl startssl

removes the processes, but they start building up again.

I've installed these ports:

apache+modssl (1.3.26)
modphp_4 (4.2.1)
mysql-server-3.23.49

My httpd.conf file is set to the defaults of:

Timeout 300
KeepAliveTimeout 15
SSLSessionCacheTimeout  300
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10


Does anyone know what could be causing this?  I'm in touch with some 
people having the same problem on Mac OSX Server, so it doesn't seem to 
be just me, although my OSX Server machine doesn't have the problem.

Please reply to me off-list.  Thanks!
