It could be because of CVE-2010-2068, which was fixed in 2.2.16. Please try again with 2.2.latest. You should also fix your configuration before restesting. Read the most recent online docs about workers in mod_proxy carefully. I expect that your ProxySet seetings are not functional the way you configured them.
