apache hangs after some hours of running

           Summary: apache hangs after some hours of running
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.39
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: All
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org

apache-2.0.39 hangs after some hours of running. When that happens, accessing a 
web page takes forever but the httpd processes seem to be still running on the 
machine and the command "top" showes no problem in the system performance.

Two machines are running apache2. One has the problem but one doesn't. The 
difference between the two machines are:
1. The machine that has the problem has about 75 virtual hosts and is a live 
system where the other one has only two virtual hosts and has almost no users 
because the machine is a test machine.

2. On the machine which has the problem, I have to increase the number of file 
descriptors by issuing "ulimit -n 256" in order to start the service even when 
I only have about 75 virtual hosts.

The MPM configuration is:
<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers         20
MinSpareServers      10
MaxSpareServers      60
MaxClients           150
MaxRequestsPerChild  5
</IfModule>
