[users@httpd] Causes httpd processes spiraling out of control with memory usage?

["Rose, John B" <jb...@utk.edu>]

Are there some common causes for a single httpd process to use inordinate amounts of RAM?

I have read about one person having a loop in their mod_rewrite rules. If someone hit the particular URL, the offending Rewrite rule would
cause memory consumption to go out of control

Thanks
