I find Apache::SizeLimit is more effective than setting MaxRequests,
because it won't kill off your well-behaved processes and thus spares
you from extra process spawning, re-opening databases, etc.
Make sure you don't set Apache::Resource to kill anything that's close
to "normal". It does a harsh kill which can leave your users with a
"document contains no data" and possibly mess up open dbm files, etc.
It works well for catching runaways though.
