mod_status of Apache 2.0.47 running on Linux (RHL 8.0) returns bad hit counters.
I wrote a script to log each minute the value for TotalAccesses on http://localhost/server-status?auto (ExtendedStatus On).
The server gets 1,500-3,000 hits per minute. The total hit counter should be ever increasing. Watch the fallback at 11:38:00 where the server lost 4,000 hits. At 11:39:00 the counter jumps from 400,000 to 1,79*10^9.

Looking into mod_status.c, the access counter of each worker in the scoreboard is summarized (ws_record = ap_get_scoreboard_worker(i, j); [...] lres = ws_record->access_count; [...] count += lres;).
