Thank you so much for the reply. Here are a couple of examples, as I'm not
completely sure if my symptoms match, though the pstacks do look very similar
to my untrained eye:
Here is a two day-old child:

...and several more in lwp_park.
And here's another one that's a day old, but looks different (including lots of
jk references):

...and so on...
If anyone has the time to confirm my case is a match I'd be very grateful but
this patch looks promising!
Thank you VERY MUCH!

What does "pstack" show for such an abandoned child?
Maybe another occurance of
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49504.
