We've been running the header modifications for three days now and haven't
had a single child spiral out of control.
I'm very surprised, since we're running the Debian package versioned
2.0.54-5, which includes the fix specified in Bug 29962 for CAN-2005-2728:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/apache2/news/20050908T181706Z.html
I checked it against revision 239378 in the 2.0.x branch; the Debian patch
is essentially identical:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.0.x/modules/http/http_protocol.c?r1=151405&r2=239378&view=patch
I even checked the package build process, and the patch is being included
during the build. I'm not sure how to react to this; perhaps this is a
different problem that has similar symptoms/workarounds? Should I try
following up to the relevant Debian and/or Apache bugs?
Thanks again for all your help, Joshua.

Perhaps. But it will be difficult to get help from the Apache side
unless you are running the most recent version. The developers don't
really want to waste time trying to guess what patches have or have
not been applied by the distributor.
