Bug #11723: A few apache children remain in memory after apachectl stop

From: denis@edinet.it Operating system: linux 2.2.14 and 2.2.16 PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: A few apache children remain in memory after apachectl stop I have the same problem as Valerio (bug #11676), but in my case the apache children remain in memory and it is not possible to kill them (i've tried also kill -9 but nothing do to, sick!). The only way to solve the problem is to reboot the machine or, in the worst case, to power down hardly the system. The kernels are 2.2.14 (RedHat 6.2) and 2.2.16 (RedHat 7.0) , the apache is 1.3.20 and php 4.0.6 (but the problems were present also in php 4.0.5 with apache 1.3.19). I was not able to track down the bug, it seems to happen randomly. The php is compiled with gd,mysql and imap (4.7c2). Denis -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=11723&edit=1
