Issueing an "apachectl restart" (or kill -HUP) make the apache parent process size grow !

This was a well-known issue with mod_perl 1.x built using DSO.  I never
use graceful restart because of this.  I thought 2.x got rid of this
issue though.  You could try making a static build and see if that fixes
it.

I was thinking of this one
add a perl bug workaround: with USE_ITHREADS perl leaks pthread_key_t
on every reload of libperl.{a,so} (it's allocated on the very first
perl_alloc() and never freed). This becomes a problem on apache
restart: if the OS limit is 1024, 1024 restarts later things will
start crashing [Gisle Aas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Stas]


but my PERL is unthreaded so thats not it.
