If you run the server as single server mode

/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -X

you should get the error every time the script runs. The reason you 
don't see it often is that you hit a new child which loads a fresh 
version and will not produce the error until the second load attempt. 

I never satisfactorialy solved the problem except to remove all 
subroutines from the parent script and put them in a "require" 
document. Since the require resources are only compiled once, the 
problem goes away.

I think this is related to Apache::StatINC - I've seen it now and again when
using StatINC, and IIRC it has been reported by others on the list...

StatINC is only really for development anyway - you may want to check out
Apache::Reload as a StatINC substitute if it's really bothersome.
