I installed Stefan's new packages [0] on the same server for which I initially posted a complaint in bug #421557 [1], using the same MaxClients and MaxRequestsPerChild settings I had at the time [2].

According to that initial bug report [1], my server would be taken down by apache2 in 12 hours. I am pleased to report that, after about 40 hours, my apache2 processes are still using a reasonable amount of memory and have not caused any slow-down on the server.

Thanks for the fix, Stefan. It seems to work!
