Bug#219973: apache: eats lots of memory



Package: apache
Version: 1.3.27.0-2
Severity: normal

This report is rather incomplete because I cannot reproduce
the bug, and am only forwarding the available data.  However I'd like
it to stay in the database for reference, maybe someone has seen 
similar behaviour.

Apache on a fresh testing installation on an Ultra 5 sometimes eats
lots of memory:

    PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  18028 www-data  17   0 1120m 163m  696 R 11.9 66.4  64:01.64 apache
      5 root      14   0     0    0    0 R 11.3  0.0   3:58.46 kswapd

The machine has 
Mem:        251968
Swap:      1048304

Load average grew up to about 11, and the sysadmin restarted the daemon
then.
