I've tried this; all I see is the apache process growing slowly over time. So I've confirmed that it's apache, but don't see anythig more about what apache is doing. > Please also repeat the test using a "fresh and clean" configuration that > does not include any fancy module as possible since one of them could also > be the reason of the problem.

Unfortunately, this is a production machine that needs several modules up and running (php, mod_perl, mod_rewrite, etc.). Sometimes two or more weeks will pass without memory overflow, and I can't disable the functionality for that long.
