We're trying a few of your suggestions. Kind of hard to test it. Thanks for
the quick responses.

wild ideas
any monitoring scripts which can take action at the first sign of the problem
might be more successful than interactive attempts at capturing ps, running
gcore against high CPU process, whatever
change your "Listen portnumber" directives to "Listen 0.0.0.0:portnumber" to
avoid httpd seeing an IPv6 connection (especially one with no source address or
which it somehow mangles to look like that)
CPU rlimits on httpd perhaps? (I don't think I've ever tried that)
Can you nice the httpd down? (haven't tried that)
make sure MaxClients isn't way over the capacity of your machine
