           Summary: internal dummy connections blocking httpd
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.6
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: All
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: max.flebus@it.easynet.net


We have apache freezing with internal dummy connections (on https default 
vhost) apparently closing down forever.

Using mod_status I get 

__C_CKCC__CWCCWC__C__KCC_CC_CC____C__K__W____C__CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
[...]
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCW_CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

That means that most of the processes are "C" Closing connection.

[...]
12-1 17525 1/449/2424 C  6.07 1275 0 0.0 8.39 40.93  127.0.0.1 web.xxx.com 
GET / HTTP/1.0 
13-1 17526 1/237/2215 C  4.65 3507 0 0.0 2.87 29.31  127.0.0.1 web.xxx.com  
GET / HTTP/1.0 

If I do strace a process, for example 17526 I see that is reading from a socket
 # strace -p 17526 
Process 17526 attached - interrupt to quit
read(356,  <unfinished ...>^C
Process 19023 detached

and if I use lsof -p 17526 to see what is fd 356 I get:
apache2 17526 apache  356r  FIFO      0,6           82466795 pipe

When every process is in status "C" the server no longer responds, and doing 
graceful or restart gets even worse for load rockets high and machine gets 
unstable.

I've found a workaround: writing rubbish in the pipe (eg: cat /etc/passwd 
> /proc/17526/fd/356 frees all the children and resumes the apache), but 
that's not a solution :)

running this way:

Thanks in advance for any help.
