Bug#280233: apache: restart kills apache, fills /tmp
Package: apache
Version: 1.3.26-0woody5
Severity: important
When apache reloads during cronjob log rotation it now doesn't come back
up and /tmp/ usage goes from 1% to 100% ( /tmp/session_mm_apache0.mem
starts using space).
This only appeared over the last weekend, so I assume is related to a
recent update in stable/security ?
# ls -ls /tmp/session_mm_apache0.mem

# ps aux | grep apache | head -1

# apachectl restart
/usr/sbin/apachectl restart: httpd restarted
# ps aux | grep apache | head -1

(this is running under a UML virtual host, which is apparently why the process timestamps look odd)
