Synopsis: 
mod_jk bug spawns unlimited rogue Apache processes

Description:
When a JSP Page that has an error is refreshed, and the Tomcat engine has been shutdown, an Internal Server error is produced and a seperate Apache processes is spawned, irregardless of the limit of Apache servers. We had set the limit of 10 servers for Apache to be initialized, and were able to open 80 additional instances of Apache by hitting refresh. This consumed nearly all system resources and made the entire system practically unusable.
