I'm having an issue with Apache processes sitting around in CLOSE_WAIT for a while. This is causing resource contention problems with other processes. I've tried tracking down the problem using tcpdumps and straces and it appears that half way through receiving a page the browser just quits sending back ACKs. Looking at strace output it seems that errno is set to EPIPE after the last write. After that Apache just polls until it times out. I know that something is broken between the client and Apache, because this issue only appears on certain networks, but it seems like Apache should handle this more gracefully. Shouldn't it just close the connection rather than continuing to poll?
