[users@httpd] Runaway Processes

[Hamma <ha...@planetside-universe.net>]

I am having a problem with the httpd processes, duplicating themselves,
hanging, and then using 100% CPU. Here is an example of my top:


--
  9:48am  up 2 days,  1:28,  2 users,  load average: 2.19, 2.28, 2.26
96 processes: 92 sleeping, 4 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 99.4% user,  0.6% system,  0.0% nice,  0.0% idle

Right now it is just two, however it has been up to 6 of them. I was
running the exact same configuration I am now (different chipset) on
another box. Same website, same config files, everything. But now this is
happening. Anyone have any ideas?
