Thanks - that makes sense. I'll just live with making sure that it doesn't happen. Just one thing though: when the process dies, it really does take the main server process down with it: [Thu Feb 27 17:55:04 2003] [alert] Child 8592 returned a Fatal error... Apache is exiting! The remaining child processes then hang around, useful until they receive a similar, deadly request. I'd be interested to know why the main Apache process shuts down. Thanks
