>Description:
Error messages appear in log file (as specified with ApJServLogFile):
[04/02/1999 15:55:59:786] (INFO) Apache JServ Module was cleaned-up (ap_child)
[04/02/1999 15:56:00:893] (INFO) Apache JServ Module was cleaned-up (ap_child)
[04/02/1999 15:56:01:042] (INFO) Apache JServ Module was cleaned-up (ap_child)
[04/02/1999 15:56:01:278] (INFO) Apache JServ Module was cleaned-up (ap_child)
[04/02/1999 15:56:01:529] (INFO) Apache JServ Module was cleaned-up (ap_child)
[04/02/1999 15:56:02:246] (INFO) Apache JServ Module was cleaned-up (ap_child)
There are several of these per second.

This does not seem to impact heavily on performance but is consuming disk space
(almost 200k in 45 minutes).
>How-To-Repeat:
I used ./configure --with-apache-src=/usr/local/src/apache_1.3.4
--with-jdk-home=/usr/local/jdk --with-jsdk=/local/packages/JSDK2.0
jdk is 1.2, jsdk is 2.0.  Tried using --with-jdk-home=/usr/java with the same
result.
>Fix:
Error seems to come from jserv_exit, implying module is continuously exitting.
Workaround: set ApJServLogFile to /dev/null (or don't specify at all).
Alternatively, perfrom a cleanup periodically on the file.
