I think I have a fix for some of the memory leaks. You can find

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!
