I just saw a problem when I tried it a minute ago.  I think Paul might
have already reported this when he reported his trials, saying it worked
until it died, but it took a minute to "ramp up".

Here's what I did: start up httpd with the same threaded parms as I gave
you before, which are nearly the defaults.  Two of the children will
immediately get killed off because of the funky default parms.  But during
that time you can simulate something that happens later during a graceful
restart.  Immediately after starting the httpd, call up an ab -n 50000 -c
50 ... you have to wait for the two children to finish dying off one
worker at a time before the benchmark will spin up to full speed.  Until
that time, you can only handle one connection at a time for each child.
