(I posted this last week, but received a "message bounced" reply.  It 
appears now that the list is back up, so I'm trying again.)

Environment: Apache 1.3.20, mod_ssl 2.8.4_1.3.20, OpenSSL-0.9.6b, Windows 
NT 4.0 SP6

I've encountered EXACTLY the same crashing behavior described by Josef 
Goebel in bug report 569 (dated 23-May). Since the bug is still marked as 
"Open", I thought I'd check on the current status.  It seems like a 
critical issue to me, as my Apache only runs for a minute or two before 
crashing. Here's the dump from Apache error log:

[Wed Nov 21 07:35:11 2001] [info] master_main: Child processed exited (due 
to MaxRequestsPerChild?). Restarting the child process.
[Wed Nov 21 07:35:16 2001] [crit] (32)The process cannot access the file 
because it is being used by another process: Parent: Not able to create the 
child process.
[Wed Nov 21 07:35:16 2001] [error] (2)No such file or directory: 
master_main: create child process failed. Exiting.
[Wed Nov 21 07:35:16 2001] [info] removed PID file 
z:/webserver/logs/httpd.pid (pid=376)

I plan to apply Josef's patch/workaround, as he's indicated offline that it 
has worked well for him, but I'm extremely curious why this issue hasn't 
already been addressed.  How is anyone using mod_ssl if Apache won't stay 
alive?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

Jay
