Don't be so willing to bet. Still leaking.
I did as you said and just rebuilt Perl and mod_perl but didn't bother to
rebuild all the Perl modules (I would have done so had I been successful
here).
Here's what I see:
> make start_httpd_fork
../apache_1.3.19/src/httpd -f `pwd`/t/conf/httpd.conf -d `pwd`/t
> ps -o 'pid,ppid,vsz,comm' -p $(cat t/logs/httpd.pid )
PID PPID VSZ COMMAND
28802 1 15528 ../apache_1.3.19/src/httpd
> kill -USR1 $(cat t/logs/httpd.pid )
> ps -o 'pid,ppid,vsz,comm' -p $(cat t/logs/httpd.pid )
PID PPID VSZ COMMAND
28802 1 20016 ../apache_1.3.19/src/httpd
> kill -USR1 $(cat t/logs/httpd.pid )
> ps -o 'pid,ppid,vsz,comm' -p $(cat t/logs/httpd.pid )
PID PPID VSZ COMMAND

> kill -USR1 $(cat t/logs/httpd.pid )
> ps -o 'pid,ppid,vsz,comm' -p $(cat t/logs/httpd.pid )
PID PPID VSZ COMMAND
28802 1 27224 ../apache_1.3.19/src/httpd
> make kill_httpd
kill `cat t/logs/httpd.pid`
rm -f t/logs/httpd.pid
rm -f t/logs/error_log
