Subject: 1.3.16-1: Apache 1.3.24 not rotating/lockup problem
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi,
I've just updated my copy of cygwin to 1.3.16-1 and have found
that apache does not rotate through the running processes anymore
it just serves from the one process.
This can results in "page not found errors"

The version of cygwin I had before was 1.3.12-2. Apache worked fine
and rotated through the running processes as it should.
NOTE: This can be seen by looking at /server-status with
ExtendedStatus On

My httpd.conf configuration sets KeepAlive Off, hence each request 
should use a new process.

I've tested it with
Apache 1.3.27
Apache 1.3.24 (The one included in the cygwin release)
Apache 1.3.22
and they all show the same behavior.

In addition my configuration had
MaxRequestsPerChild  1000
which is suppose to restart the process after 1000 requests but
instead the process simply dies and apache locks up.

I guess the main apache process that is suppose to arbitrate the 
requests is not working properly with cygwin 1.3.16-1

Has anyone else seen similar problems with apache?
Has anything changed in cygwin that would cause such behavior?


Paul
