Hi Norbert,

can we keep the users@ mailing list CC-ed on this since it may be
relevant for others too?
Moreover people with a better knowledge of mod_perl than me could chime in...

The case seems to be mod_perl specific (I know very few about it),
"normally" preforked processes have the lifetime given by these
directives...

Could it be a crash of children processes somehow, or a special
handling of processes in mod_perl?
The creation of multiple root processes at startup looks special to
me, usually httpd has a single root process to maintain children
(www:www) processes, is a root process still alive after the load?
