I think I have a fix for some of the memory leaks. You can find patched packages for etch at:

I installed the patched packages yesterday, and they've been running for over 24 hours without any problems. I'm hesitant to declare the problem fixed, however, since they're running on a low-traffic mod_perl development server.

Tomorrow, I think I'll install them on my personal web server, which handles much more traffic. It was one of the servers affected by the bug in the first place.

I installed Stefan's new packages [0] on the same server for which I initially posted a complaint in bug #421557 [1], using the same MaxClients and MaxRequestsPerChild settings I had at the time [2].

According to that initial bug report [1], my server would be taken down by apache2 in 12 hours. I am pleased to report that, after about 40 hours, my apache2 processes are still using a reasonable amount of memory and have not caused any slow-down on the server.

Thanks for the fix, Stefan.  It seems to work!
