I have noticed some weird behavior lately, but unfortunately I'm not sure 
when it started.  Apache processed are being spawned regularly on my 
FreeBSD 4.6 machine, but they never die.  In other words, a new one is 
spawned every few hours, as long as hits are coming in, but no processes 
ever die.  Eventually there are dozens, even hundreds of httpd processes 
accumulated, and Apache stops responding.  Doing

apachectl stop
apachectl startssl

removes the processes, but they start building up again.

I've installed these ports:

apache+modssl (1.3.26)
modphp_4 (4.2.1)
mysql-server-3.23.49

My httpd.conf file is set to the defaults of:

Timeout 300
KeepAliveTimeout 15
SSLSessionCacheTimeout  300
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10


Does anyone know what could be causing this?  I'm in touch with some people 
having the same problem on Mac OSX Server, so it doesn't seem to be just me,
  although my OSX Server machine doesn't have the problem.

Please reply to me off-list.  Thanks!
