I have a static Solaris compilation, and have the same problems
where the parent seems to grow by 1M each HUP. This has caused
me some problems because I have a monitor that will do a
graceful if the httpd seems stuck, but I ended up doing a
cold stop/start every X restarts instead.
Yours is a great analysis, and I look forward to the fruits of
