I was too quick to cry ignorance. I have now gotten mod_status working and
here is the output. For some bizarre reason the number of servers is
multiplying
68.58.140.236 was downloading another page with lots of pictures on it.
(http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/titanic/-- axion is an ancient pseudonym for
www.theory.physics.ubc.ca)
Why are these idle servers multiplying? As I said this all started out by my
having 160 of them which was causing swapping death for the system.
How do I tell apache not to do this multiplication of servers?
Note that the aggregator requests keep coming even though the virtual host
which hosted them is disconnected (commented out in the httpd configuratio
nfiles)

to be piling up?
Since you've looked at the logs and not found anything there (or at
least eliminated what problems you have found), mod_status would be
a good next step.
If there is some reason why you cannot enable mod_status, then check who
is holding the connections open with netstat.
