Hi, SA 3.1.0 has some new lines in the log, like this:

info: prefork: child states: BBBBBBBBBBBIBBBBBBIBBBBBBBBBB

Does anybody know what they mean?

foreach my $pid (@pids) {
    my $k = $kids->{$pid};
    if ($k == PFSTATE_IDLE) {
      $statestr .= 'I';
      $num_idle++;
    }
    elsif ($k == PFSTATE_BUSY) {
      $statestr .= 'B';
    }
    elsif ($k == PFSTATE_KILLED) {
      $statestr .= 'K';
    }
    elsif ($k == PFSTATE_ERROR) {
      $statestr .= 'E';
    }
    elsif ($k == PFSTATE_STARTING) {
      $statestr .= 'S';
    }
    else {
      $statestr .= '?';
    }

So B means a busy child, I means idle, etc.. Looks like you've got a lot of busy
children and 2 idle children.
