apache stops working after 260 requests

           Summary: apache stops working after 260 requests
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.43
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: All
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: tom@izb.net


I searched the bug database but could not find a similar entry.

My problem is as follows:

I am using FreeBSD 4.7. I compiled apache 2.0.43 out of the box (without
any patches) with MPM set to 'prefork'. Compilation works and its also
no problem to start the daemon.

After that I run siege (I used 'ab' as well as a self-written tool with
identical results) on the apache. After 260 requests siege stopped working (it
sleeped). I interrupted siege and tried it manually (telnet *.*.*.* 80
GET /). apache still responded to my connection and it did also deliver
the / request. But it did not *close* the connection. I had to kill
my telnet session.

My next try was to compile apache as MPM worker. For this to work correctly
I applied the patches of the apache 2.0.43 freebsd-port.
But the result is the very same. 260 requests are working then it stops
closing connections.
