Your 'ps' output shows a lot more processes than can exist for that
daemon process definition.

If you do a complete 'stop' of Apache, do any of the processes still
exist? Ie., eliminate whether they are hanging around from an old
Apache some how.

Also set:

  WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}

to force use of main interpreter in case GeoDjango doesn't work
properly in sub interpreters and is somehow leaking memory.

Also ensure not loading mod_python in same Apache.

And ensure that not setting DEBUG to True in Django settings module.

Ideally you shouldn't use maximum-requests in a production environment.
