We have a freebsd 2.2.5 server w/96 megs of ram
running 13 instances of apache. (each spawning
about 5-10 children).

it seems something triggers _all_ of the servers
to become in the run state. about 4 or 5 children
seem to be using about 8 mb of ram. it is very
hard to actually kill the processes. (not just
from lag, but the process not dying after being
sent a kill signal).

when trying to kill the session leader it does not
seem to die.

The servers get stuck in a "waiting for reply"
state and never seem to respond. This server has
been up for over 40 days running fine.

We have finally rebooted the machine, and after
about four hours it happened again. 

Anyone have any suggestions?
