How many log files does your server have?  I've got a similar report
from another glibc user and I'm trying to narrow the differences.
See http://bugs.apache.org/index/full/1893 for details on the other
user's system.  If you could tell me about any similarities you
see with your system that'd be great.

Thanks

$ grep Log httpd.conf | grep -v ^\# | wc -l

The kernel is stock 2.0.33, libc is now 2.0.7pre1-1 (from the debian
package) but it happened with 2.0.5c and 2.0.6 too.

Btw it really seems to be a SIGCHLD handling problem. In my bugreport I
mentioned a problem with PHP too. It is gone now, since I've added a 
signal(SIGCHLD,SIG_DFL); to the beginning of the php parser so it resets
the SIGCHLD signal handler before every php script. Now there is only a
problem with the master server. 

I couldnt find any other significant similarities... just the kernel/glibc
versions and PHP...
