Re: To starve or not to starve (Starving sockets bug) (fwd)

Thanks for the responses guys, I did go ahead and submit a PR.  Well, good 
question Marc.  We have kind of an interesting setup.

We actually have a listen directive for each virtual.  Reason being is we run 
8 copies of httpd on each machine with a unique config file for each. This was 
our way of escaping file discriptor problems, there are 300 to 700 virtuals
on each host.

As far as how busy. . .here's a snapshot from 'top' on one of our machines

  2:26pm  up 17 days, 12:13,  1 user,  load average: 0.69, 0.75, 0.60
142 processes: 138 sleeping, 1 running, 3 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:  4.2% user, 49.3% system, 48.8% nice, 47.1% idle
Mem:  128096K av, 125748K used,   2348K free, 100884K shrd,  65292K buff
Swap: 130748K av,      8K used, 130740K free                 25008K cached


Not terrible.  BTW this machine I JUST encountered the problem on.  A HUP and
everything's OK.

Thanks again,

Gerald
