Thanks Nick,

If they started misbehaving, what has changed?  Any system libraries?
Kernel?  Hardware and/or drivers?  And if so, have you rebuilt apache
from clean source?

ANSWER: Nothing has changed apart from the OS patches from time to time. 
And nothing recently. Also this problem has occured 3-4 times this year 
and generally once every 2-3 months.

... whatever that is ...

ANSWER: It is Apache module which is responsible for Access control 
(Auth/Az) and SSO and communicates with a backend Policy Server for 
decision making.

Do you have anything in Apache to take advantage of that hardware?

ANSWER: If you mean, any directive in httpd.conf/ssl.conf to make use of 
the Accelerator card, yes, I have compiled Apache with a CFLAGS 
-DSSL_EXPERIMENTAL -DSSL_ENGINE which allows me to use the directive "
SSLCryptoDevice cswift" which instructs Apache to offload SSL processing 
to the hardware.

Apart from running gdb on a core dump?

There are some debugging aids at http://people.apache.org/~trawick/

ANSWER:  Thanks. But I believe you need to compile Apache with debug 
option, and second, the Apache instance does not crash, the parent and one 
or 2 child processes are often up. But it is not responding to web 
request.  So I guess there will be no core dump !?
