can you please test if the error occurs with the prefork mpm? maybe it's a threading issue in one of your apps
I just notice that I always use prefork on my Mandriva web servers (and they work fine for years ) ! I'll do more than testing prefork, I'll keep it :)
ok, please reopen if the bug still exists with prefork
