I was experiencing similar problems with an x86_64 server after
upgrading to 5.3. While MySQL, Apache and PHP are installed SquirrelMail
was not, nor mail services beyond daily logwatch emails.

Since Apache was serving internal-only sites needed by only a few people
in my department, I found that de-tuning the prefork section httpd.conf
was an acceptable workaround.

None of the other servers I have upgraded to 5.3 have exhibited this
issue, but they are all i386 web servers only and do not mysql
installed. Although they do handle 2-3 orders of magnitude more requests
than the x86_64 server does.

Thanks,
Rick
